Retro motorbike rim? Free/feed the bear

Post by PaulE »

No idea what it is, but I've found a chrome steel Radaelli rim in a load of stuff I've bought... Thought it was a BMX rim but it's smaller (19"?) and 28 hole. Bit of Google hunting makes it look like one of the ones off this page https://www.motocicliveloci.it/inglese/ ... lli_uk.htm

Free to anyone who wants it, probably £3 for postage, and feed the bear if it's any use!

Hi Paul
Is it definitely 28 holes? Motorbikes are generally either 36 or 40....

Not that I'm doubting your counting ability but unlikely to be a motorbike rim with 28....hmm

Definitely 28 holes, says radealli Italia and 190 on it...

Looks like it's a moped rim...

Ah velosolex! Pretty cool things those, I recall riding one with a mate many years ago with no lids, everytime a car approached we just started pedaling!

Sorry no use to me then. Might get a few quid off the bay as there is quite velosolex following out there.

Someone will buy it Paul. Quite a following for mopeds, also potentially of use to someone building a boardtrack racer.

Ta. Still free for anyone on here, but I'll pop it onto eBay too.
