I think you're gonna need a longer hose.

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker (new stuff done)

todays efforts!


drive side chain stay wrapped to deaden chain slap


future shim stock


current shim stock


my BMX bike sacrificed its BB 3 piece adapter


made a strap for the front brake arm


assembled the BB, could not use the stock cups so shimmed in some modern ones. Yes those are BIO-Pace on the crank arm. grabbed some deraliers, and fitted a set of 1982 bear traps. the cranks are are from a 1986 Schwinn Sierra




started working on the frame finish

will get more done tomorrow!!

I'm really liking the finish! That Earthy color is perfect with the jute.

Been outta the "loop" for a bit. Just took a quick glance through your build. The finish on the frame is amazing!

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker (today much done)

Hey! so started today mounting the rear wheel and noticed the frame was not strait :roll: even though I got it from a reputable salvage yard :!: so threw a string on it and found the rear triangle was bent to the side a 1/2 inch!!! sooooo after I tried straitening it gently to no avail I was forced to resort to the farmers straitning stomp :wink: :lol:


after a good stomping it is now strait and the tire sits right 8)

the fork cups were shot and was glad that I had gotten more shim stock yesterday to fit the new cups properly


rear brake arm bracket

Got the shifters, brakes, and cables done the Jute wrapping has not been varnished yet so its still real light






added a patina to the top shock mount but forgot to take a picture of it will do it tomorrow. here he is with the tank and a good seat (after sitting on the rusty beast I thought that it needed to go in the will use later pile





the crank arms may be a problem they are 175mm and clear the floor by by about 3 inches so will take a look at 170mm and 165mm cranks tomorrow :lol:
