Pietenpol-List: straight axle and wheels for sale

Hi guys,I mentioned this before and had some interest, but at the time I wanted more for them (what I have in them) than what anyone wanted to pay.I have to build a new set of wheels with brakes, so if anyone wants a complete, ready to go, brakeless straight axle with two beautiful wire wheels, email me and I'll send photos.They are very unique and classic. They are 28" smooth high pressure clincher tire, which is a WW1 era tire, which is what the first Piets used. Tubes and tires are easily available. The wheels use a steel rim, stainless steel spokes laced up by Buchannans. Hub is of classic design using bronze bushings and a grease fitting for lube. The axle is the standard 4130 tube, 6' long, 1.5" odCan send pics.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:32:31 -0500

I might be interested. What is the size called on the plans? I assumebrakes would be hard to add and that's why you are building a new set?Bob -----Original Message-----
