Lookin good,some interesting things going on here.
Funny that you have 22" wheels.
I have a brand new 22' tire that was sent to me by mistake,and I just thought about it today..

The original wheels are 22's but the new ones are 20's I would have used the 22 rear but getting a fatter tire is near impossible for it,the skinny tires are in very good condition considering the amount of rust on the wheels,and this bike is peaking my interest in going on a path I would normally not go down,I just have to make sure I don't go stupid doing it

so found a solution to the front guard wobbling,not totally happy with the looks but it works

scored this classic healing ladies for $2.50,mainly because I was going to do a quick resto and make some good coin from it but wasnt as good paint condition as I thought,but it has a cool diamond vinyl spring seat that I am always trying to buy as I like them

whats this got to do with this build?,nothing really except that the dude chucked in a dynomo light set thats way cool,headlight is made by Bosch,Germany

some one at some stage used tin foil to reline the housing

original bulb?

a side note,I love old bike shop stickers

will put the lights on at the weekend,been doing long hours and 6 days at work

so added the lights(pictures soon) the headlight mount was going to hit the handlebars so flipped it upside down to mount the light,not too keen on how it looks but will leave it for now,I got an old mounting bracket from another rear light and straightened it out,done a 90degree bend to bolt to the light and the other end I bent and shaped to curve with the mudguard,played around with the position of how high/low I wanted to mount the light then drilled out the hole and mounted,I wanted it to stick out from the guard as I may fashion a number plate but not sure yet,but it looks cool floating out away from the guard,next I will be doing some sign writing today,nothing big just fixing up the "metro 22" logo and adding in "RAT" between the two

[CRASH]

Loving the details!

 

[Endlesschain]

Headlight,as I said not keen on looks or posi,may have to mount on the fork or even frame

rear light,love the angled lense,it is mounted upside down to how it is ment to be
