Did Drew not buy the Spacewheel a few years back and refurbish it?


Seems on their website they stripped it to the frames and did a ground up restoration.

I know Drew had the Seattle Wheel, and he bought the Space Wheels and yes did a very strong refurb, just waiting for it to hit the road.

Now the Astro Wheel is news to me, not trying to be mean, but are you sure it was an Astro Wheel? One I didn't think he wanted anything from "that" company anymore and not sure why Kissel would be way over here?

Anyhow we are planning to go up tomorrow night, will check it out.

WOW, I was wrong and you were right, it is an Astro Wheel, went to the fair FB page and there it was behind the Pirate being set up.

I wonder, did you see the Seattle Wheel? Got to go now, be the first time I have seen one of these in person.

Apparently “Smoky’s Greater Shows “ has one.

I’ve never actually seen one..,

I think they dropped theirs, went to website and didn't see it, but they still had the Diver.

My understanding is that Kissel purchased the Smoky's Greater Shows one and now owns two Astro Wheels.
