In keeping with my new tradition (self-imposed) of a new bike every Mardi Gras! Test ride Sunday morning and official debut March, 4th. @ 7am Zulu Parade!!!
My only contribution to the build was this seat I made. Tooled 8oz. leather. My first time ever building a seat from a seat pan. The next one will be much better....I hope...
Hey Stumpy, You're in the custom bicycle wheel capital of the world (or you're driving distance to it!) The Cruiser Shop in Campbell, Ca. is where I bought my hoops, 144 spoke hub and 144 spoke 3 speed hub adapter. They can 'paint' and build your wheels for about $600. I couldn't afford that service so I found a mechanic locally who has a supplier in the city who measured and cut the spoke for him and he laced the wheels for me. I probably could have done it myself minus the truing of the wheels. I hope this helps, good luck!!!
