Calimer's Wheel Shop
I just got my fourth wheel back from them. I've been rotating through the set for a good long while now and finally got all four done. The delay was on me...I just piddled around.
Superb work. I cannot say enough good things about it. I asked for clear hickory because I wanted to leave them unpainted and they are simply beautiful. They are all just works of total perfection.
So for what it is worth. Highly recommended.

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
Agree Steve. Calimer's did the wheels for my 26 and I did the natural finish also. He does great work.

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
Steve,
Glad you're happy. My only problem when I contacted them was they told me there was an 8 month backlog, so I went to someone else. Did you have any problems with wait-time?

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
Bill does excellent work, and it is fun to visit his shop. Looks like a movie set. The wait was 6 months but was worth it. Cheers, Bill

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
I am also very happy with the results. Had all four of my 26TT wheels done. I took about 7 months.

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
Another happy customer. He is a total craftsman. Years ago when I visited he was having a tough time finding someone willing to learn the trade. Hope he did.

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
I had 2 sets done in 1985 and one set in 2002. They are still like new after lots of miles. I tighten the hub nuts occasionally.

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
I wouldn't consider any one else. I had a demountable wheel he was able of work in with someone else 's order, so the wait wasn't long at all. A great company to deal with.

Re: Calimer's Wheel Shop
Another happy customer. Bill did four 27 wheels for me a few years ago. Natural finish and they look great. I dropped them off to him at Hershey in Oct and picked them up at his shop in January. Great guy and terrific work
