Its been kinda slow lately but I finally got all the parts I need to finish the bike, First I got my New Departure Model A hub I have been searching for. I'm re-lacing it into my rear wheel today. Next I got a set of cream Schwinn grips. Last I have two sprockets, one is a Spaceliner sprocket and the other is a skip tooth. If I use the Spaceliner sprocket I will have to grind off every other tooth. If I use the skip tooth I will have to spend a day out of my build just trying to get that thing as clean as I want it. By the way if you where wondering I returned my other skip tooth sprocket. It was too shiny for the bike considering everything else is bare metal.

Take your skip tooth sprocket to a metal finishing place (or anywhere else with a media blaster). Five minutes and a couple bucks is well worth it for the time and effort it would take you to do it by hand.

So here is my problem, I got my ND laced into my rear wheel and i got my chain on but it wouldn't tighten with the drop outs I made. The slots don't go far enough back to get and tension. Also my chain is rubbing against my rear wheel.
 
Re: * THE BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(another problem :( )
slot the drop outs horizontally and dish the wheel....
Re: * THE BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(another problem :( )
well i had in mind that i was going to horizontally slot the drop outs but I'm not sure what you mean by dish the wheels.
