Moto-Lita wheel

Post by Pete »

Anyone seen a Moto-Lita wheel with this on it before ...

Image

It's a dished wheel with a leather rim and each spoke has this pattern on it, the R/H spoke being the only one with Moto-Lita added to it. Can't say I've seen one before ?

Yes it is unusual Rich, may take to wearing cowboy boots in the car. :lol:

I've contacted Moto-Lita to ask if they've seen one before, nice potted history here by the way......
