My brother picked this up after we spotted it on CL with another almost just like it for $40. The other bike is complete but in a few pieces and has a lot more rust.
This one came with the handle bars off and a modern road bike style neck on it. I removed that and put on a BMX style stem with handle bars. It was pretty stiff do to rust from setting out side but I have been working with it and seem to have loosened things up. Right now I am trying to adjust the 3 speed shifter and hub. It will shift into 3 but will shift into 1 or 2 only when it feels like it. I am still learning how to adjust the Sturmey Archer 3 speed so I hope I can work the bugs out.
Here is how is sits right now. Installed one new tire up front and have one for the back to but I am waiting on new rim strips to come in. I and currently trying to get some of the rust of the chrome parts. This thing is a blast to right and I plan to take a ride down to the local "pub" here in town to take a few pics.
