Thank you very much sir :thumbsup:

Done! More photos in the FINISHED BIKES thread, thanks for following ;-)

Finally! I hope you all had much fun in this build off as I did. I also picked up some tips here and there. Now it's time to just sit back, relax and grab some popcorn. Good luck to all the participants! Here's the link to the build...

The bike is actually done I had a test ride down our street, just once. It's been raining here the whole week (rainy season) so I wasn't able to take photos yet or made a significant trip to share my experience with the tires. However, the first thing I noticed during my test ride was that you...

...more parts! Some work on the fender. Mock up with temporary tires. The tire!

Still having problems posting photos using 3rd party hosting, I cannot re-upload/replace/edit them. Suggestions would be appreciated. So in the meantime I'm re-uploading these for the benefit of the new visitors to this thread :) Here are the parts I will end up using.

Yup, gonna sort it out and reupload everything. Thanks :-)

I thought it was just some networking issue at work. Thanks for the tip. I'll just reupload everything. :-)

Finished last night! Hopefully I will get a chance to ride this weekend and take some photos :-)

That's a beaut! I'm diggin' it! :113:

WOW, looks great seeing it brought back to life! Aged to perfection!

Clean and simple, I love it! It looks like it was built what it is intended for, looks right at home in that terrain! :thumbsup:

That looks gorgeous! Good luck! :41:

Been up and about and just gathering the parts I'll be using. Hopefully I will be able to complete the project before the deadline :) Safety has been in my mind lately so I kinda changed my mind on the fork. I will now be using a V-brake 26" rigid for this build with coaster brakes in the rear...

Not much progress lately, still waiting for the tires. However I was able to get new handle bars and the stem I needed (will post later). I've have also been thinking about safety lately so to have peace of mind I intend to replace my current forks with similar ones equipped for V-brakes...

Here's my wife's, built from a generic Japanese ladies city bike.

Scored the front hub for my build!

See you soon! :-)

Whoa! I never knew that could happen (the locking of the tire bit). I can't remember the last time I had a nasty spill, let alone going over the bars like that. I hope you're feeling better.
