Well I saw the New Rosewood Wheel here at Spring Carlisle.
D&R Classic had a few at the meet they were selling.
I like it much better then the old repro that was available.
However,
I do not believe anyone is going to be fooled into thinking it is original.
Spokes were sharp, (like all the repros)
Color was pretty good, even had some grain to it,
Texture was better, but not really like the original ones.
In fact when I walked up, I asked if they had the "NEW" wheels from Parts place???
They said: "that is it Right there"--->
I did not think for one second it was original.
So after personal examination.
I think you will be very happy with this wheel,
It is MUCH better then the other repro, which I would not have installed period.
This one is pretty close to the look of the authentic one.
Just like any Reproduction part, it is a good affordable alternative to the original item... Pretty close, and you save $1000.
Don't go selling your original just yet, this is not fooling anyone. IMHO
These guys have them in stock
