Cleaned up my '65 Hercules frame and I grew attached to it so the next build will be a 58' vintage S.A. Dyno-Hub front, 69' Sturmey Archer 5 speed racer with fixie style chopped and flipped 10 speed bars.
Before:
Here's a mockup with a 58' Dyno-Hub on Raleigh pattern 26" x 1-3/8" rims. The rear wheel is temporary while I refurb. the five speed and assemble a wheel.
Fred get out of the picture!
That's better.
More parts!
Scored a bell crank for the 5 speed from Harris Cyclery in MA. Great sturmey source.
Her-cu-matic shifter. I'll run this for the right side and a derailuer style shifter for the left. Sheldon says thats the ticket!
