some eye candy. it's my world sport that I have been riding since 82 the disk came off of a Bianchi if memory serves it wasthe first upgrade and i bought it at a yard sale for 2 bucks redid the rim and mated 2 threaded cluster pieces together with brass to get it working. I believe its a suntour disk and its pre 82 but have never seen another one. did the rebuild 3 years ago and all the stickers are done out of 3m reflective tape. have 1826 miles on it since rebuild

also mega thanks to the how to page that gave me the idea and the incentive to make this front end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the bracket is a step plate off of a garage door and 1 trip to the hardware store (instead of the usual 3) plus a few enjoyable hours!thank you again how to page!

there finally married!!!!!!!! the upper and lower positions are daily and with the tag-along positions. all of the bracket parts are from garage door stuff which is what I did before my career change, if any one is interested in a parts list just PM me. its a long ride!!!!!, but should end up with a comfort ride position ( just like my 80's? late 70's disk brake on my skinny comfort ride is not new) off to paint? maybe maybe not.
