    Old Bones

    Well, this is it today. I reversed the seatpost to get the seat low and far back enough for me, drilled a hole in the forks to mount brakes on (following an existing hole in the rear, its a touch too low. Bent a couple of panniers to fit, put on an old chain and wheels I found in an alley. The...

    I completely forgot about this build off! I started building my bike yesterday and I'll see if I can find some before photos. What I've done so far is reassemble the frame with a new bottom bracket as the old one was an oddball.

    The Little Fool Who Shouldn't

    I want to but I really shouldn't. Not sure what I want to do with this one. But a three speed with drum brakes is definitely on the cards Wish me luck
