Just been presented with this by my folks who found it in the back of their shed. I've got a photo of me racing it at the Malverns in 1995 (I think) and I'd forgotten all about it.
It's got a skinny LX hub in great condition too!
The tyre is a little hard and brittle to say the least though.
Wonder if it would be wanted by anyone on retrobike or maybe I'll keep it and make it into a wall clock or something...dunno what I was thinking when I got it built though!

You [i]wonder[/i]?
Seriously, unless you're attached to it, stick it on ebay uk and ebay.de and retire off the profits 😉
Out of interest, can you upload some photos of it?
second the upload photo's.
If its scrubbed up well, good condition with a good condition tyre it'll sell very well. IF i was building retro bike and you had the pair i'd make an offer
Nice, i used to run an Impes on the back of my Alpinestars AlMega. It was the strongest rim ever but a bit narrow for big tyres and the brakes were a pain to set up.
Cant remember what happened to it. Doh.
Snowflake spokes were weird. Must have been a right arse to build a wheel up like that!
ahhh I remember using Fir rims and conti tyres - never to be separated!
As a youngster I converted my front wheel (normal 3x) to a snowflake pattern, but had to reduce it to 2x as the spokes weren't long enough 😆
Some photos then, tuns iut that the Porc is ****ed, sidewalls have perished but it still looks pretty!
Wheel in pretty good condition I would say.
I've no idea what things like this might be worth?
