Anyone have one laying around collecting dust?
Doesn't have to be anything special..
Thanks for looking.

Would a very slightly damaged one be okay? I have one that's cracked around the bolt holes

Goin old school, wide white walls, Briggs fiver with some fun stuff, and turquoise in color.:laugh:

Okay -- I'll get some pics within the hour

Okay, it's worse than I remember it being. One half is perfect, but the other half has 2 broken standoffs, and 2 bolts from the other side are stuck. you can see the stuck bolts in the pictures. I think you could grind the standoffs down since you won't be mounting a sprocket to them, but those sheared bolts might present a problem. Let me know if you're interested. It'd be yours on the cheap.

Thanks Andrew.

I may have one. I will need to do some looking. I think the spoket bolt got lose and had a couple very small chips come off, but looked very usable. I will see if I can find it and post a couple pictures for you. Might be able to use one half from each wheel to have a perfect one

Thanks Steve.
No big deal. I have a rim that I like on it.
So, don't go out of your way digging.
