Hello. A few months ago I was driving to work and see two cruiser type bikes free to a good home on the side of the street so I loaded them in and away we went! Both pretty ratty and not original vintage, late 90s cheap copy types.. still fun though!
Anyway so I decided I would rebuild one as a 50s/60s style cruiser. Got some Fat Franks on the way, a velosteel coaster hub ready to lace and a Terry mattress saddle to recover. Need to get some fatish rims from someplace as well.. struggling with this one.. thought about these? http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/26_inch_front_rims/monty_champagne_26_inch_36h/c518p12426.html and the painting them? I dunno..
Anyway loads more bits to collect, paint, build and ride etc!
Cheers
