making a camelback

Whoa, this is nice! Interesting choice with all the white components. Looks good with the grey.
I do think you should risk the drill bits and drill the cranks, since you put the idea in my head...

I hope your wife is doing better!

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I will try and roll it out and snap a photo if there is still some daylight when I get home from work tomorrow.

I am planning on stopping at the LBS for a rear deraileur and shifter tomorrow as well. At that point I will just be a rear mechanical caliper short and I can ride with a front brake only for a while

That is really turning out cool. really good tip on the leather stiching gotta remember that one.Just noticed the cable routing for front brake awesome!

:wink: Yeah I am trying to bring the Pott's mod back.

Too much time spent on freestyle bikes in the mid 80's. I can't let it go.

Rolled it out into the rain for a whole bike picture

And then while I had it out I decided to run the deraileur cable and then I hit a snag. I didn't have any cable straps and zip ties would break my heart. Back to the leather!

Cut some 3/4" strips and hammered some snaps into them

I kinda dig the look.

Looks like I am a rear disc caliper away from heading out on my own little tweed ride. Just in time for the rain to start
