Hey everyone, long time reader, first time building!
So this bike was found in a friends skip, you usually don't get bikes laying around everywhere like you seem to do in the US! I messed about with it after stumbling across this site a year ago, and then left it to rot for a year whilst i finished university away:
After getting back into the site and bikes now I have graduated, i slowly tidied up the bike:
Since that pic I've made some homemade string grips, moved the shifters to tidy up the front end, changed the saddle and have messed about with a bike club sign to put on some plywood:
club sign (i realise the grammar is incorrect; its still in draft form)
Now, here are some pics of the bike with some trial shapes on, they are not cut to shape properly nor painted black; I personally don't like the wood, but don't know how else i would be able to show my club sign off?! Next plans are to get a load of lights and mirrors for the front rack, paint the rims red, and any feasible suggestions people may have!
EDIT: pics came out fine
