Need some help trying to get something for my dad's birthday.

He has a 20" raleigh shopper that he's been meaning to fix up and, well, use to get to the shops since he rescued it from a tip.

Main problem at the moment is that he needs a front wheel for it, and it's 90mm spacing. Any suggestions either for a hub or full wheel from anywhere? I'm sure he'd appreciate it for his birthday (obviously if this is gonna cost more than just buying another bike...)

Or am I just not going to find this anywhere? If so any other suggestions for his birthday? He likes weird bikes...

Have a look on the CTC site.
Have seen a few posts on there re Shoppers, you might just strike lucky.

How about a [url= http://www.unicycle.uk.com/qu-ax-penny-farthing-2.html/?___store=default ]modern Penny Farthing[/url]? Quite fancy one myself ๐Ÿ™‚

Possible that it was 100mm before it landed at the tip. Might just need pulling back out to 100mm (4 inches).

What size wheel? 20x1.75"? 500A? 20x13/8"

Let me know, we have a few NOS wheels kicking around as our shop is older than time itself ๐Ÿ™‚
