To compliment the "bicycle registration" thread...

Vermont looked at it. https://vtdigger.org/2018/01/12/bill-create-bike-registrations-impose-28-annual-fee/

Coming along... Stuffing the bigger tires into the fenders was a bit fiddly but I was able to pirate a half-link from my pathracer to get centered. All chained up I could confirm the vintage Shimano thumb shifter does work with the new Nexus hub. I found a NOS Shimano cable with white...

Paint and decals all ready for clear coat The original chainring wasn't quite true...or terribly attractive. I picked the one with hearts. I also started messing around with the 3 speed. The Shimano Nexus 3 comes with their Revoshifter. Besides the fact that it would be conspicuously...

Is that a horn mounted down there at his nether-lands? I not sure he had the right idea about that part.

I’m still working on mine.

The shape of the tank on those is pure awesome! Kind of brings to mind the coves on an old Corvette

This article caused a stir in mountain bike circles for a while. The author, long time MTB guru Lee McCormack, tries to simplify how reach and stack can be combined and used to optimize fit . His conclusions are not universally accepted, and will not bee 100% applicable to the vintage bike...

Recon it's time for me to head over to the merchandize store and exercise my RRB.com loyalty with a new hoody or something!

This is my first and last stop for ALL my rat rod biking needs!!! Ok? Ok!

I had to step away from the shop for a bit to deal with life....BUT...life almost never gets in the way of buying parts!!! I also got to work buffing the fenders out. They show some odd discoloring from the past (chemical splash ?), but not so bad that I want to send them out. I'll hit them...
