No mine are the stock 2015 zinc coated crap chrome finish, I knew theit fate soon as I layed eyes on them, all shiney and new, I debated if I should just get it with the cast wheels it would have been so much easier and the cleaning would take only minutes not hours but the look of spokes on that bob just looked right and I couldn't give them up. I always knew I'd put stainless spokes on them. I put heavy gauge real stainless spokes on my old Electra beach cruiser (bicycle) 8 years ago and they still look grest, not shiney but clean and rust free, I never care for them, just an occasional wash off and maybe wipe dry, they have held up great and I'm right on the coast here in HB.

Buchanan's stainless spoke kits really aren't that expensive. I think mine were less than $150 per wheel. Spokes and nipples. I polished them before install and they look pretty damn good. I did the rear about two years ago and they still look brand new.

Boring, but finally got my front brake line bled. Feels 100% better with the stainless line and new fluid. Not spongy at all. Speed bleeders were great once I had fluid in the line. Had to use the old bleeder to get fluid down there and gen go back to the speed bleeder. Not sure what i did wrong but it worked in the end.

Switching front tire. Trying to figure out if the bearings are bad (feel kinda rough while spinning them). Probably will just replace.
