I also made a spare wheels in the same time.
I also change brand of the tires for this season to match the NOS Good Year Polyglas from EBay. The rear tires are H70-14 and the front ones are F70-14.
Here they are in place:
...have you ever heard of "old school Pro Touring" before or am I first with this expression?
