Hey, I’m Rich Lesnik.
I build strong, long lasting wheels meant to take punishment & carry heavy loads.
My story
My name is Rich Lesnik. I have a BA in US History from the University of Pennsylvania (College ’68), have worked as a cab driver, short-order cook, substitute teacher, left-wing political activist, librarian, recording engineer, jazz musician (alto saxophone, clarinet and flute), typesetter, aircraft mechanic, and now, a bicycle wheelbuilder. I’ll be posting more information about my “other” life as time goes by, elsewhere on the website.
Still OK, but a bit dated!
“As of this writing, I now have some 12,000 miles on the wheels Rich built for me and they are still perfect and have never had to be trued or tensioned.”
