Sweet Spot! Is that an 853 sticker? I'd love to try a Reynolds frame. Sick pair of Porsches in the background too

Yep, this Rocker is Reynolds 853. At least, the main tubes are. I have an old Raleigh that's also based on a Reynolds tubeset.
... skip a few meals for those bars. Nom, nom, nom.
I scored those OddMonē bars a year or two ago used, and slightly trimmed in length. Had them on my Fisher CR7 before, but now the have a new home.... skip a few meals for those bars. Nom, nom, nom.
I finally got a chance to dig through some parts, and look at alternative fork options for Cherry. Hard to decide between the original truss fork and the '70s bargain basement telescopic "BMX" accessory fork. Also pictured are the crash bars and 2 speed Bendix 24" wheel.
Love that headlight!
Very hard to choose between those forks, and either one will set the style for the rest of the build... 
I think that I will lace up the front wheel before I make my final decision on the fork.Very hard to choose between those forks, and either one will set the style for the rest of the build...

Look what I remembered to do!

The bmx forks look cool, but I like those truss forks better. Just depends on your direction for the build.
I am leaning toward the truss fork, as well. Going to lace up the 24" S7 wheel this week, I think, and then I'll be sure.
One of my favorites! Had one on my custom spaceliner, and had TWO on a tandem I used to own. Wanted to swap the seats when I sold it, but too much of a purist.
While I was waiting for the groom to show up so we could go get fitted for tuxedos, I laced up the S7 for the front.
No sense in keeping the 'bride' waiting while you wait for the groom.
My thoughts exactly. I'll true it up, and mount a brick tread Duro on there.

I'm liking the crash bars laid down at that steep angle!
I was thinking about adding a rack, and some saddle bags to fill them up.I'm liking the crash bars laid down at that steep angle!
Progress today will be minimal. I got distracted putting a new tire on the Shelby before I put Cherry up on the stand.
