It’s not often that a truing stand deserves a build thread of its own but I think in this case it’s a necessity.
Kinda feels like when some punk tried to rob crocodile dundee with a flick knife.

Hello,Hey Richard,
Nice build! When you say,
Wheels: Rims were OK-ish especially for the price, but needed a fair bit of work to get them in shape.
Is it the truing that needed the extra work? I'm looking for a nice set of 26" wheels, the ones you used look a lot like the Mavic XC717s I have on one of my retro builds. What's your thoughts about them now - would you use them again?
I really like that - paint looks great, are decals also paint or transfers?
Reminds me a bit of some of the stooge bikes:
