50s pathracer wheelset -- 27" Sturmey Archer 4 spd
This was in a lot of parts I purchased this spring. I haven't touched them except to remove the rotted tires and wipe them down enough to handle. As found and still somewhat dirty, but appear to be true and spin smoothly.
Rear wheel is an alloy shell Sturmey Archer FM from 1951 laced to an alloy rim (possibly the remnants of a Fiamme sticker) with slightly too short double butted spokes. There is an indicactor chain on one side, the other has a pin that might be tweaked slightly. Front is an unmarked hub with steel barrel and pressed alloy flanges and wingnuts. It's laced to a Joannou alloy rim with a couple obvious replacement spokes.
Sold
Fiamme?
Joannou 27" rim. Made in Italy
Unmarked front hub with wingnuts

If these are still floating around, I'm interested as I have a 50s Claud Butler I need to rebuild . . . .

Looks like @Dylansbob marked these as sold in the original post in an edit 2 days ago.
