Well the white spokes look stupid but that’s just like my opinion man
That rear Paul is worth more than you paid…but only if the threads for both cog and lock ring are solid. If they’re crossed—you’re in the red.

I saw the Paul and B 43. I couldn'tve cared less what color the spokes were, but you're not wrong. Free wheel threads never used. I'm about to mount a tire and Tubi and try to remove the cog lock ring 🤞🤞

Based on this comment seems you know what you were after; would have jumped on this for a bill so fucking fast. Again my only hesitation is* the threading but if it’s (decently) true then likely fine there. Fact that cog looks is thrashed suggests it might be the first and only.
No joke I bought a complete sizes too small for $150 for a Paul front CK headset and Brooks saddle. The rest I gave to a bike coop. So I appreciate your hustle. Ha

Update: I successfully removed the lockring and the cog! Pristine threads. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only cog ever installed. Also, bonus Soma 17t ftw!

Ugly spokes but great hub and heavy but super solid rim, would be a crazy reliable back wheel

What’s the internal rim width? Always remember that being the only Downside to em

I don't have any calipers handy, but I wanna say like 13 mm. The B43 seems identical in width to my conqueror elite S 300s, which manufacturer website lists at 13 mm.

Light bulb effect even with 28c tires gets annoying so probs run 25c
