[QUOTE="OddJob, post: 1199265, member: 14580"] [USER=36]@ParkRNDL[/USER] , this is shaping up nicely! And that shifter console is immaculate and a white knob too to match your cable housing! Don't know if you remember, but I did a 'refresh - mod' of a Sears Spyder, "RaTsberry BuffeT" for a MBBO a couple years ago. Mine was literally found in an old lean-to on a farm, no original patina like yours. I replaced the original dual rear brakes with modern upgrades, and added the dual-pull lever to run both off the same lever. It works great! Here are a few photos of my build. RaT Muscle oN~! The dual rear brakes. I also used Metalcast Black chrome on all my chrome parts, gives it a bit of a different look. [ATTACH type="full"]179820[/ATTACH] And a photo where you can see the dual-pull lever pretty well. [ATTACH type="full"]179821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]179821[/ATTACH] Ooops! Full bike side profile....I had to replace my lever housing on the drive side, used an aluminum beer can bottom.. [ATTACH type="full"]179819[/ATTACH] This bike is one of my favs for riding. The 24" size is great, even for a 6'1" guy with long arms! [ATTACH type="full"]179822[/ATTACH] Looking forward to your progress on your build! [/QUOTE]
