Think the chain guard is growing on me; probably going to keep it this way.
Has that looks mostly professional but with a splash of "I made it myself".
Hoping to get the tank ready for copper paint soon. Its taking longer to smooth out than I expected, lots of dints & dings as well as the waves from it being stamped.
Yea thrift stores here don't have bikes.
Keep checking the bike co-op here but all the 3 speeds that they will part out have brazed on holders & stops and no spare parts that I can find
I'm trying to keep the cable as hidden as I can so part of it is inside the tank.
Still trying to get it to where it goes in & out of the tank smooth when turning.
Also trying to devise a longer shift handle so when I get my seat and can set far enough back that I'll be able to reach it lol.
Hoping to get time later to put the hub on the frame and hook the cable up to see how everything fits.
Think I jumped the gun a tiny bit lol need to plan out my shifter lever & seat before I rip it all the way down.
Lol just so glad its working out that I forgot about other things I should get done first so I don't kill the paint later.
