I like 'em both. I've always been more of a sucker for the older wheel though - both look really good, though.

Wheel #2 FTW!

I like it! Have you had it out for a good flogging yet?

I've put about a full tank through it. The new wheel makes the driving experience SO much better. Really tightens up and modernizes the feel of the steering (more than you might imagine).

The carb's still flat-spotting a bit, so I still haven't gotten off a clean foot-to-the-floor row of the gears yet, but it's cleaning up, and I've pulled a clean gear or two.

It's nice.

Might put a waterpump in it today. I found one I had lying around that I might just put in, I just need to rummage some gaskets...
