Stops removed, paint touched up. Dew Point has been about 75f here so paint is drying pretty slow. Frame looking cleaner for sure.
Some wheel ideas:
This is a 20" 36h wheel I got for the hub. Most larger rims are 36. Most coaster hubs now are 28s (kids bikes).
This what I usually do for single speed conversions. Aluminum bso rims on 36h coaster hubs. Have something speedier in mind. This wheel set is for another project in the works. But not for this build.
A pair of Vitesse deep dish aero rims 26". Needs to go on something more special. Vitesse translated to Speed.
too big to fit the frame.
Too small? Besides, the bo rules say the bike has to be rideable.
Dug some coaster brake hubs out of the parts bins. My plan is no cables but brakes are needed if this is to be ridden. Cable stops are gone now so I'll not use the 2 or 3 speed hubs.
I have plenty of Schwinn 27" wheels but 27" tires are scarce here. Plenty of 700c tires but few 700c rims with 36h.
but first a coaster brake hub inventory:
DC HR-47 Black with stripped off flanges (cheap chinese tube hubs with pressed on flanges). This came from an adult size cruiser
