Nice! It looks great! It's the first one I've seen. I'm sure their are others.

Think there have been a couple responses about keeping spokes clean. I never have a problem but can anybody tell me how to get the hubs clean? That is my only trouble spot.

I've put some strips cut from an old belt around the hubs like we did to bicycles as kids...one came off somehow but the other seems to be polishing the hub - I had nothing to lose there.
WallyWorld has an electric toothbrush looking thing with a separate pack of different brushes that clip on it. I bought it to clean spokes and hubguts - works well. As far as polishing spokes...I got nuttin' but sore fingers here.
