LIME DROP ~~~ frame to rough

[Skipton]

Went to the local Bike Swap on Sunday.. first table had this.. can’t pass something like this up. I don’t think the Skipton riding position will work in this. Time to build a Muscle Bike.. mock up pics to come

I was hoping this would show up when I saw it on IG

Some mock-ups
Quick and dirty 26” wheel set

700 rear and 26 front..

Seat option

This seat I like the best so far

700s front and back

700 deep V’s front and back with little banana seat. This mock-up is my favorite so far

Thanks for looking

I’ve been lusting over this seat for 10 or more years.. a year ago I was lucky enough to have @Verrt pass it on to me.. I think I just found the perfect bike for it.

Those deep V's are THE LOOK!

 

[Skipton]

Digging up parts.. Love me a rollerbrake hub with a 6 speed freewheel.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Whoa, I've never seen one of those.
Operates like a coaster brake?
What kind of bike had those?

 

[Skipton]

It’s cool right?
It looks like a Coster brake from the side. But kind of like an external Coster brake but cable operated. I think this came on a muscle bike back in the day. I got it for $5 or $10 buck years ago at a Swap Meet .

They came on the bridgestone speeder

So I spent a good hour or two yesterday trying to get this “freewheel” off with no luck.
Today I decided to ask a professional and ride over to the local cool bike shop. It’s a cassette!!
The Tech. Showed me how to take it off and didn’t even charge me!!!

Lots more to come
Found cranks and a bottom bracket.
Need to figure out spoke lengths
Thanks for looking.
