Thanks! It was fun and I'm pretty happy with the end result. It rides real nice to boot. It is time to move it on over to the finished bikes.

Talk about an 'historical' ride! Bike looks great and I'll bet it rides well too.

RiDe oN~!

It was a last minute decision to go there and I thought I might do my final photos from that location. I pushed it out to the road for its' first ride. I also took along some tools for fine tuning and didn't need them. The only real nit I still have with it is the seat guts are past their 'best if used by' date but now that it's over the finish line I'll tack weld them.

I broke my bike. There is a freshly seal coated parking lot near my house and I just had to try laying down a skid mark on it. When I stomped down to skid it became clear the old Musselman hub was going to have none of that. Now I hear a click every revolution the wheel turns. I'll be taking it apart this upcoming weekend for inspection and repair. Fortunately I have some spare hubs for parts.

Awwww that's sucks. Looks like your old Musselman was more like an old muscle man

I should have crushed some Wheaties into the grease when I packed the hub
