Confirmed from Fran that the wheels are, how can I put this delicately, derived from the softer edged Halibrand, WITH the valve stems on the lips, where they originally were.

I don't think that will sway anybody one way or another but our list is.....a dynamic one.

That insures they won't look like counterfeit Halibrands and more commensurate with their high price.

"....dynamic one." Yep, in more ways than "one" too.

For those who may be waiting for the next production run of Halibrands, the wheels sold by Fran will be made by THE U.S. manufacturer of magnesium wheels.

In all likelihood, of course this is pure speculation based upon hearsay, the next run of Halibrands will be made outside the U.S.

Default Last bit of info...

David K has confirmed that the Trigos that come standard on Kirkham's are completely stock, no special backspacing.


Mr. Moderator,
Please put cement shoes on this thread.
I'm done.
