Making Custom Spokes — It’s what we do.

Buchanan’s has been making our own line of spokes since 1971 for motorcycles, as well as vintage cars and antique airplanes. All our spokes are manufactured in-​house using only American drawn and certified wire. We also stock undrilled steel and aluminum alloy rims that can be drilled for both stock and custom wheel assemblies. Our own Sun Rims are manufactured in-​house. Our highly skilled wheelsmiths can lace and true your wheels when you ship us your hub.

History

Established in 1958.

Buchanan’s Frame Shop was founded by Jim Buchanan in 1958. In its first decade of operation, Buchanan’s offered motorcycle frame and wheel repair. Spokes and nipples were purchased from outside suppliers for in house needs, and a large supply of blank (un-​drilled) aluminum rims were kept on hand. In 1971 Buchanan’s began manufacturing its own line of spokes. By 1975, advances in our manufacturing ability allowed us to sell pre-​packaged spoke kits to other wheel repair shops.

In 1987, Buchanan’s discontinued its frame straightening services and began manufacturing Sun Rims. The versatility of these rims’ unique non-​dimpled construction was maximized by Buchanan’s custom built drilling machine.

Now known as Buchanan’s Spoke & Rim, Inc., we moved into the 21^st Century as a second generation family business. We are committed to focusing our skills and experience to deliver to our customers, quality products and services that live up to our reputation.
