Aero wheel covers for Alex Moulton 17" rims -- flat disks and
   two cone angles to fit various dished wheels. These are vacuum
   formed from "high impact" styrene, in white and black. They attach
   to the wheel with packing tape, instructions included. These were
   originally made for use on the Moulton 'Liner which still (1/96)
   holds the 200 meter flying start record, sitting in the
   normal/upright cycling position.

   
   
I also sell AM rims (undrilled), tyres and tubes, and I am a

Aircraft supply sources don't usually carry Chrome-Moly tubes
   with the low thickness to diameter ratios preferred by bike
   builders. Dilisburg's price list shows 1-1/8" x .028" and 1-1/4" x
   .028" which I feel are the optimum size for top and bottom tubes
   in a "conventional" recumbent. Normally these are available no
   lighter than .035 which is overkill in many applications. They
   also have 1-3/4" x .035" which is perfect for tandem boob tubes
   and might be useful for really light single tube frames. Gaylord
   Hill says they also build recumbents, which could explain the thin
   tubes.

   
   
One possible complication is that they don't take credit cards,
   so you have to prepay or use C.O.D.

   
   
Two of our club members got a large order from them, this
   spring, and were pleased with the service and price.

   
   
Most frame building supplies, such as braze-ons, are available
   here in Mpls. If you can't find something, perhaps I can help.

I market a line of knotmeter logs to the world. If you use
      any wind powered craft (Windsurfing, catamarans, sailing
      dinghies, up to sailboats of about 30-foot), we market a
      knotmeter log for you that doesn't require any holes to mount,

      average speed maintained, and maximum speed attained.
