[ingola]

I'm making a practical steel bike. Nothing special just practical

 

[ingola]

So stripped down and putting a Sachs three speed thanks to @SwissGuy

Fits nicely

I'm thinking some leather wrap would look good on there

Boy that's some flashy paint. I'm excited to see this one, my kind of skinny bike. Flat bar I hope?

 

[ingola]

Flashy paint is going, and yes a flatbar

Vintage Sachs Torpedo hubs are the best looking 3 speed out there. Looking great

Yes and they shift so much smoother than the sturmey archer but hard to find got this one sent to all the way from Berlin

Very cool!
I wonder: When someone says 'practical' here in my country, the bike will get a lock, a rack/carrier and fenders. Does your bike get these 'features' too?

Time to strip this thing

 

[ingola]

Time get started on tires

Cut that out won't be needed

Polished the aluminum

There I'm bleeding now it's a build off

Off to the nurse

Putting my blood into this one.thanks again to @SwissGuy for keeping this under his desk

Cut and threaded spokes now time to build this wheel

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Off to the nurse

First blood goes to Ingola!
I'm sure she loved waiting for you to get the camera before she put the bandage on
