That looks very atmospheric! I had a Wilesco roller when I was a kid; it’s hard to believe that they’ve been making these things for over 50 years.

You’ve certainly improved its appearance; the only thing that shouts out to me on yours is the flywheel. If you can get one with spokes it would look even better. Keep up the good work!
