He’s a very personable interesting guy. While I at the shop he showed me some wheels we was rebuilding for a museum, although I don’t recall which one. Most of the equipment you see in the photo is 50+ years old. if a wheel is out of true he takes it apart and re-spokes it from scratch. Fred is about 78 with a bit of arthritis so can’t work for long periods of time on re-spoaking wheels. He just plugs away at them for about an hour at a time and has help come in once a week. He did a very precise evaluation of my wheels. And as David said, it would probably be cheaper to replace the wheel than incur the expense of having Fred, or another rebuilder disassemble it and build it back form scratch. <div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><blockquote cite="mid:002b01d11757$ef03c3d0$cd0b4b70$@charter.net" type="cite" class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><font color="#800080" class=""><a href="http://www.hemmings.com/hcc/stories/2013/10/01/hmn_feature10.html" class="">http://www.hemmings.com/hcc/stories/2013/10/01/hmn_feature10.html</a></font></span></div></div></blockquote></blockquote><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I went out today and tried again to figure out where the vibration is coming from.
