Re: Woody Henderson {5-3}
Well, haven't really done anything yet- the garage is undergoing a major reorganization but I did manage to grab a few parts as I stumbled across them, leftovers from projects that didn't materialize..... Let's see, there was the Elgin that went to Phil, the Manton and Smith, the hybrid klunker........ :?
I have a clearer vision this time- a little chrome, a little maple, a little leather, a little black. Of course there's also the comraderie of the build off..... 8)
I had always planned on this prewar Schwinn frame becoming a geared hybrid klunker but the thought of the money involved in braze-ons and real paint kept that idea on permanent hold..... :roll:
Here's the original CL ad....
And here's how it's looked for the last couple years....
Some of the basics including a 175mm cro-mo crank and a Felt bar......
A nice sturdy seatpost by my semi-retired machinist Ramon. It's nice to have a 'go-to' guy for little things like seatposts, spacers, etc. I always try to keep one or two of these around in case he really does retire..... :wink:
Took a few minutes to trace the tank outline on some posterboard....
Well, what could be in here.....?
Oh yeah! A cool Shimano 'Coasting' chain! These have a thick, smooth, quality feel. I knew I'd use this someday! Thanks, Randy!
I'll get started in earnest this weekend. I have a wheelset, but I think I'll use different hubs, I guess it's time to unbuild/rebuild.
This will be a pretty clean, simple bike, so not much to find. As usual the Brooks saddle will be the major expense..... :shock:
