I continue to stare at this lacing pattern:

Every other spoke hole has been skipped on the rear hub, or is that Drillium? If it is Drillium, why not drill the front hub also?

The main page caption reads:

"... his wheels are "Diamond Jewel" models built by master wheel builder HR Borthavre, using Super Champion Medaille d'Or rims, 28 hole in front and 30 hole on rear (!) The wheels weigh in at 520 grams for front, 720 grams for the rear!"
