Thanks for the kind words! The tires are old Carlisle knobbies.

More pix... B-72 and a little bag which I believe to be Eastern European or Russian military. Tange BMX headset, cable stop, and Spitfire badge close up. When you receive enough therapy, you get a sticker! Atom drum brake hub looks cool and has a nice feel but only suggests that...

I dusted the bike off this afternoon, went out for a ride and took a few more pictures. Enjoy!

Yes!!! Build one and we'll go riding.

Insert your favorite bomb pun here... :happy:

Cycle Therapy has been completed for a while now. I was kind of holding out for a different set of bars and trying to find time to clean up all the photobucket issues in my build thread. Build thread here - (I'm still cleaning it up)...

I'm on it!

The bike is pretty much completed. I've was hoping to replace the bars with a set of Mr. Ticks but he has a pretty big backlog right now. Until I can get the build thread edited, enjoy some shots I took from a couple shakedown runs. I'm happy with how this one came out!

Yes, the bike has been completed and I've been having a ball with it! I've been spending way too much time trying to get my build pictures off of the Photobucket site and uploaded directly to this thread. Between tons of pop up ads, an old slow computer, and error messages during edits, it's not...

With the rear wheel in place, the cables run, and all the remaining little parts installed, I now have something that resembles a functional bicycle! Still needs some fine tuning but it appears the mix of components will play nicely with each other. It shifts, starts, stops, rolls, and...

We've been waiting for you! :grin:

The bars were 33" wide. Since I have little short tyrannosaurus arms I'm going to upset the purists and hack an inch off of each side. Grips, thumbies, and levers are next... With the bars in place I can now install the front wheel and brakes. And start running the gear cables.

Really nice build! Looks like a lot of fun!

Put the wheels on to kind of, sort of get an idea of how it's going to look. I think I like it! Handlebars are next...

I did think about that but the pre-war stays are a little bigger than normal and shaped funny. Most standard sized clamps won't fit. Plus, I didn't have one in my stash... I think what I have will work. It just needs real world tested...

Patina sanding done. Installed the headset & fork, bottom bracket adapter, cartridge bottom bracket & crank, Nice used B-72 saddle, a couple cable clamps, and found a different headbadge... I don't like full cable housings and these cable stops will allow open cables to be installed. This...

I did leave out a lot of shots of the tools in action with this build but I used the Hozan spoke threader in the left of this photo...

I jumped in this past weekend after seeing that a Facebook friend was doing a build that really looks cool. Thought it would be more fun to trash talk and agitate him if I had something in the competition as well... :bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

Got the rear wheel all laced up, trued, and round. The online spoke calculators told me to use 252mm spokes and they were dead on! Took the front one apart to replace the hub and all the spokes stayed in place. Thought it was kinda neat... The old XT hubs are pretty popular with the...

The Pedersons move in and forward on an internal cam when you squeeze the lever. The rotation of the wheel continues to pull the brake inward giving it a little more power. Thanks! The avatar is my 72' Mini Clubman with a giant chrome Raleigh Roadster on the roof rack.
