That's not your worst idea, either, Anders!

I don't know, Palle's has that little snail tail that serves on purpose on an otherwise really nice shape.

Bob: I'm thinking that wheel was a deliberate attempt to make an automotive logo into a working piece of art??

I wonder if you were influenced by cast iron park bench ends... it does look pretty.

Maybe... didn't think of it till you mentioned it

Terry,

I like Palle's wheel too. It just takes up to much space in my little garage.

I have a 18" frame right now and it is just to small!!! Then I thought that my new wheel doesn't have to look like an Imperial Would have been easier to build, but I think it's OK for a tool to be pretty as well as functional
