Built a wheel with R45 hub and AL22W rim (rear wheel, part 1)

Another day working on wheels (and so on).

A customer left me with front and rear hubs from Chris King
R45. It's a limited edition color called Pretty Strong Pink
that Chris King released as part of a breast cancer awareness campaign in the past.

The nipples in the photo are a similar color that the customer provided.
By the way, the hex size came out to 3.4mm.

I'll do the truing later.
