For centuries we had spoke wheels and in the late 20s and the 30s the style became disc wheels. Then the hot rodders found spokes again and now there is again a market for spoke brushes.

I had a "Cal-Bug" back in the 80's.

It was an imported German 1966 model with a 1.3L, 6VDC system and I converted it to 12VDC, put 1.6L pistons and barrels (with the original fly-cut 1.3L heads) while keeping the 180mm flywheel.

I had Kleber 145 front tires and 205 rear tires, a selectra-drop front beam, dropped rear axle by one notch, Porsche 36 horse fan shroud, Bosch 009 distributor with a rear cowl offset.

I also had the tinted rear quarter "pop-out" windows.
