A quick build. With the exception of the wheel set, chain and pedals, everything else was from last Sunday’s Midwest Bicycle Swap. The sprocket was given to me and the rest was from the “free pile”. The original fork was tweaked. The fork I used was also from the free pile. The star sprocket was bent so I straightened it and some of the teeth I had to file. I had the red front wheel but not a red rear wheel so I painted a rim and laced an old Bendix hub into it. I first used the original chain and got a mile from home and it broke. Walked it home and put on another chain and rode about a dozen miles with no other issues.

The "free pile".

Dig the subtle red white and blue vide, and that star pattern chain ring ties it together nicely :thumbsup:
