A customer dropped off an Euras (vintage Japanese utility bike) with me.

The customer said it was "pretty worn out,"
but it actually had some repairs done on it and nothing major was wrong.
The hub was pretty much centered, but when I kept chasing down the tiniest runout,
I threw it off-center, so I had to re-dial it in from there.
The anti-freewheel side was getting a bit loose, so I intentionally
re-tightened it while I was at it.


The one red spoke on the rear wheel isn't some stylish touch—
apparently it was just the only spoke available when they did the repair.



The front wheel rim was apparently in potato-chip condition and got swapped for a new one,
so the rim is newer than the rest of the bike.
That means it got rebuilt somewhere along the way, and
whoever did it—I don't know who—actually did a proper job.
There was no hub offset and the tension was spot-on.
There was just a faint runout that you'd only notice when riding.
