I built a set of similar wheels and they are stiffer than what I like to ride; however, they make for a great conversation piece.

Hi, My winter bike wheels (Normandy hubs and Mavic MA2 rims) have just come back from the wheel shop after a respoke with Italian stainless spokes to try and solve a clicking spoke issue. I note that the wheel builder has employed a rather unusual technique to lace the spokes and he calls this Spanish lace. The Spanish lace appears to be a combination of radial spoke lacing and 2X spoke lacing (forward and reverse) on adjacent spokes with all the spoke heads being inserted from the inside face of the hub flange. A picture of this hub and spoke weave can be found at http://li6qpa.blu.livefilestore.com/
