"Hoops, there it is!"

Hoping to give myself some direction for the build I have landed on a fixed gear/single gear setup. Thus, I made a trip to the co-op for some subsidized purchases.
I really wanted to set my aluminum frame up this way instead of my new Pake, steel frame but the aluminum has vertical drop outs (don't really like the look of a tensioner). I bought two Alex hoops, and a rear hub to suit and will spend the day tomorrow once again building a rear wheel.


 It's a deep-V hub so that's a first.  I heard they're a bit more frustrating.  Guess we'll see.

  1. Good luck. Wheel building is an art I hope to master someday. Maybe when I grow up...
