AJ,
Heft a solid wheel and then a spoked wheel, or even a modern honeycomb
motorcycle wheel and you will feel the difference in weight. And, I would
like to see your idea of a solid wheel on a Loop.

I saw a picture today of a 1939 knucklehead with solid wheels, no spokes.
They were painted to match the paint scheme of the bike and I thought it
was a sharp look. YMMV of course. Is there a reason other than cosmetic for
spokes versus a solid wheel? In my mind I see solid wheels as turning a
bike into a giant sail and making control difficult, especially with a
cross wind. But I don't know enough for sure. I was thinking it would be a
good look on a loop, unique, contrasting colors rather than chrome.
