It was all a happy accident when during the wheel build stud lock was accidently used instead of lubricant on the spoke threads. The only way to tension up the wheels was to twist the spokes. Et voilà, Bob's yer uncle!
I have a set of (26") wheels in the attic that were built up by Sonic Cycles back in 97.
They have wiggly/zig-zag spokes and are a proper PITA to true up.
But hey, they look cool when spinning
