DANG! I need something like this for my SA-Hub - where did you get that shifter from?

btw. Are you wearing two different shoes? ;)

i got it at "marktplaats" its a kind of craigslist, i dont know what you have in germany.

the shifter is nos it has really nice chrome and no rusty parts.
there are only a few realy tiny cracks starting to appear in the white plastic on the handle.
Good luck on your search, this is the first one i saw overhere.
had to have it :D
 
Hmm,

Last week i took a really good look at the frame in the corner of the garage.
I decided that this one will be in the books from now on as a welding lesson.
Its so badly put together that it doesn't line up anywhere, even if i would repair the welds that cracked.

I have to say that this build alway's had special place(being my first one).
Thats why I've been gathering some nice parts for it.
These parts no longer fit the frame, the parts are way to nice for that frankenframe.

plans for the fenders are to make 'm look aged
(maybe replace the rivets from the skirts for copper nuts'n'bolts).

So the stars aligned and a dicision has been made, this build will take a different turn.

It could be that this is my last post for it here or a name change is in order.
We'll see.
At this point i would like to say thanks to everybody who has commented and helped me out on this build so far,
it has not been for nothing.
Sometimes the road is rough and takes a while to get a clear vision and find your direction.
Sometimes the roadsigns say the road is not the place to be, there's alway's the sidewalk................

yet another motorcycle stands to deliver its looks for this bicycle.
