[QUOTE="davegerard, post: 1194954, member: 821"] This build is going to take forever, apologies on that but my time is generally obligated elsewhere. But this is the initial start, swapped out the bars. I think I am going to keep this very basic. New grips, new chain, obviously new tube for the flat rear tire, new seat. Surboard/skateboard holder. Possibly switching out the stem so that I can clamp the 7/8 bars a little tighter, or just some shims. The only thing I am a little stuck on, I have a 3-speed hub and I'd rather exchange the twist shifter on the handlebar for a stick shifter mounted at the base of the handlebars. I figure the look will be cleaner and lower profile, and maybe I can even run the cable inside the frame and handlebar so it is not such an eyesore. Any advice on that is welcome.[ATTACH type="full"]175573[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
