Nice! Barber swap?Just bought a wheel at the swap meet. Got it for half what the cheapest ones on ebay go for.View attachment 241920
I'd love to go to barber someday, but this one was at the Seaba Station Museum near wellston, OK. It's not huge, but going and looking is free or a booth is $15.Nice! Barber swap?
Barber is a must see event for sure. I wondered if that wheel was from Barber as the guy selling across from us had one for sale.

Spoolie hub and 21" shouldered front wheel for an upcoming chopper project. Also grabbed an 4.00 18" hipster/poser/wannabe Firestone Champion sawtooth tire for the rear of said bike:
And a pair of Joe rocket leathers to match my well worn jacket:
