DERAILLED!

That 1/8x1/2 chain on there? How's it work with the multi+derrailleur?

I was afraid of something like that. You'll probably have to steal the sprok+chain from skinnyland (or mtb) to keep it working.

I saw the same chain (Walmart restocked finally) so I'll fix that, but the cluster was f-ed to begin with so the chain is an after thought.
I have a spare cluster and maybe I'll put a Schwinn pie plate on it this time hahah! I think I'll take the tank off and paint it in the mean time.
Thanks for your input....

I ended up buying a freewheel remover tool, changed out the cluster, derailleur and the spoke protector. Tomorrow I'll put the chain on and cable up.
Then if it's nice I'll take a spin and get some new photos!

[mastronaut]

Well it's pretty much a done deal! I painted the tank (still debating flames or pin striping). The chain mess and derailleur is all set and TESTED.
So here she is... Thanks for the comments and encouragement.

Their loss is our gain!

Those will be cool. Did you order them online?

[mastronaut]

Yes I did, I found em on fleabay, I'm thinking they are going to give it that 'touch' that it needs.
I really would like to find a nice heavy chrome chain guard for it (hint),
hit me up if any of you might have one kicking around. Thanks

I got the decals today! Here's a couple close ups, hopefully the sun comes back tomorrow I'll get some better shots...

[deorman]

Nice fit on those decals. Is that a deer whistle?

Yeah it is a deer whistle hahahah good eye! There were a couple holes in the tank (pre drilled) that I wanted to cover.
I think they fit perfect. Thanks!
