Welbike Replica
 

Hi,
I am looking at building a replica Welbike and I am trying to find either some original wheels or replica wheels. I know there are people who build replicas and I woul like to know what they are using for wheels.
Regards,

contact Rob Van Meel he can put you in touch with the right people regards malcolm :thup2:

Hi

In 2005 we finished our Welbike project, in which we made 21 copies. All are running now, and three seem to have been sold off.
For wheels we made hubs (courtesy John Salemink) and had rims re-rolled to get the right diameter (12 1/2"). Sopokes were bi=ought in and brake set-up converted from existing bicycle spares. If need be, I could find out what a complete set of wheels, in repro form, would cost now to have some made.
Would you want tyres and tubes too?

Rob

Sorry, I do not know how topost one here. But I am working on a book with lots of Welbike photographs. Hopefully out by the end of the year. Keep you all posted.

Hi all - went to a clearance sale today and look what was there. It sold for $AUD2800 plus a 12% agent's premium of $AUD336 totalling $AUD3136. Then if you paid by credit card, another 3%. I do not know whether this was good value or not.
