Finished
I had a quick trip this morning down the street to my location, and clicked off a few shots, as my wife is in bed with migraine and I didn't want to leave her for too long.
I didn't have to worry about my butt on the ride, but my backpack was rubbing on the rear tire, so had to shorten up the straps. Also forgot about the "PUNK" plate I made to fit the front caliper mount , so fitted it when I got home and took a pic.
Even though I ran short of time and enthusiasm towards the end of this build , I'm very happy with the finished bike .
Some build info:
Micargi frame
SunRims Double Wide rims
NOS Sachs front hub
Velosteel coaster hub
3G Boa-G tires with logos removed
Recovered WCC seat
3 piece Redline crank with Truvativ BB adaptor
2 KMC Kool chains.....it's long!!
Custom built springer fork.......yes folks, it works
Wald bars cut in half
Bargain bin grips and pedals
Austin "Flying A" hood ornament with green LED lighting
LED converted vintage headlight
Vintage style microphone tail light
