I thought I knew about Art Deco before this but I have learned a lot about it while looking at designs, reading and watching you tube clips. I am sticking to the 1920's geometric style of Art Deco on this bike as opposed to the 1930's Streamline Modern style with sweeping curves. I love both...

I want it to look good up down and halfway in between!! Yes speaking of angles matching.... The nearest thing to match to or compliment will be the supports for the rear fender.... Might have to design the stays and stand together to balance the look and scale..... Thanks, got me thinking. :)

Yes, good thoughts.

OK ideas people..... let's design an Art Deco geometric kick stand.... thoughts???? Three small parallel rods rather than one solid one??? Three diverging rods?? Like my first crap 2am sketch? The feet are rubbish, but the shaft might work... "feet" or foot would be angled to sit flat on the...

Wanted, Adler chain wheel, or lead on one for sale, see photo for style I am after....

Yes to the 590, new Westwood style made in India I expect. I managed to get a 32 and 40 spoke from the same eBay seller which saved heaps on postage to New Zealand.

That's a 10 speed Raleigh from many be the 1980's I am using for parts.... Three CCM Flytes are hiding in the shed and one frame and fork set still in Canada.

Worked out the size I want for the handler bar "bars" 7.5mm seems to look right... I found in my steel rack what I think it better quality tool steel to use that all needs to be turned down to size and polished. I have decided I really don't want the bolt in the top of the stem.... so I am...
