I found this 10spd sitting out for free. A bud lives two houses down and he said it was sitting under a snow bank since last November.
had a cool front rack I bought from CCR and some S-7 wheels I bought from... (memory lapse)... Bombshelter Bikes maybe? anyhoot... I made this:
was surprised how well the paint cleaned up after sitting in snow all winter. maybe snow is a good preservative?
drilled the rivets out holding the outside larger chain ring on and I like the look of the little chain ring alone:
seat tube clamp is the end of a handlebar stem. I like the bolt, it reads "WIN"
mmmm, Bendix...
only problem with this bike is that after I built it I was like; "eh..." I don't see me riding it. So I'll probably sell it. Probably will lose money based on what I paid for rack and wheels. At least putting it together kept me busy for a few hours.
