Click to expand...

got it off ebay. some NOS shifter from the 70's. Funny too that I've seen two others on some other builds now that I got mine. Never noticed them until I got mine. I hope it works with my Sturmey Archer wheel.
 
as long as it pulls the cable and holds the tension it will work with a Sturmey (3 speed i can vouch for not too sure about the 4s and others)
ive used a 6spd ratchet shifter with mine, its a bit guesswork cos you never know if ur in gear. When your not you know about it, as you go down so fast, or whack your knee on the forks
 
I've made some time for myself over the past couple of nights to play. Unfortunately I can't find my camera :oops: So here is a really really bad photo. Sorry. I'm too excited to wait for a decent photo. The only thing left is the gear shift.

OUTSTANDING!.............More pics, please..............Hope to see it in person, one day.
 
me: "Boy, have you seen the camera? You had it when you were working on all of your legos."
Son: "no" (seriously, what would we expect from any 8 year old?)

I wander up to his room to find my camera on his desk chair under some dirty laundry.

"here it is."
"oh yeah"

And now some better photos in a crappy location. As soon as I get one of those axle nuts with the "chain gear changer guide" extension, I'll be able to finish it up and take some photos outside with the camper. Browsing the photos you will note that I have not final cleaned or polished anything yet and several borrowed ideas i.e. the oil tank, the 3/8" SS brake line as truss bars. The seat is high enough for me. I'll have to ride it around a bit but I think I would really like to have a longer stem to increase the reach to the handle bars. If that doesn't work I may have to go with some bull horn type fixie bars.

Ran out of rivets and they are freaking expensive!! I'll need some in the Spring as I start work on the camper then so may I'll add more to the bike then.

Say it again!.....OUTSTANDING!
