Freight Train 1896

Very cool piece of history! Looks great!

I hope that you'll be able to change out the chainrings before it's done.

That’s easier said than done . I think I have chain rings to set it up . And I have the mile of chain that I would need . My concern is doing the work just to have the bike pedal like a lead balloon . Estheticly I agree it would look better with a skip tooth drive train . If I ever found the correct chain rings I’d do it . I’m on the fence with this one though. I have other bikes I’d prefer to move on to .

Yeah, I get that. I only brought it up because you had mentioned it in your first post. Looks great as is!

I've always wondered what it feels like to ride solo in the rear position!

Better than riding with someone in front on this bike . Face to butt distance not so great. Lol

Add some RaT-ina to those pedals and the rear seat clamp bolt to tie in with your other stellar work on this!

Ride video? And maybe some close-ups of parts intersecting that great paint patina you created.
