Figured I'd make a build thread for this one, since it'll probably be a winter project and take awhile to put together.
Here's what I'm starting out with. I have original handlebars, jsut not in the pic.
Unsure if I wanna keep the colour+patina or sandblast it....again. Bike seems to of been sandblasted and repainted entirely at some point in its life but judging by the rust, it's had the paint for a while. I kinda like how it is now though. I'll be transplanting wheels and springer fork off another bike for this one. Though I'll need to widen the 110mm rear spacing to fit the 120mm Nexus 3spd hub. Did it for my current bike, hated doing it..lol.
I've also found a tank for it on eBay, which is currently on its way to me, chrome with most the lettering still intact. I think I'll need to find a seat post collar for it too, as it's missing. Also on the hunt for a replacement crankset, as this one is twisted and has a pedal welded in.
