Lookin' good, I really dig the seat.
Still in limbo..Haha.. I was going to use the hoops on my Earth Cruiser build but I ended up using the other hoops instead.. I just need to get some 32 hubs.. Rear coaster break and front..
32h coaster brake hubs are supremely limited. For new hubs, there's Velosteel, some sturmey-archer kickbacks and 3speeds.... that's about all I can find. Old stuff generally comes from a time when there were 36h for bigger bikes and 28h for little bikes. 32 didn't become popular til later, like in the 80s or something. Apparently, the new SRAM Automatix come in 32h in the EU, but they only sent 36h over here....
Well that's the only draw back about these blue hoops that I have is that they are 32h and didn't realize it when I bought them. So now in order for me to build them I need the right hubs for them.. I didn't they where going to be hard to find.
You can spend the whole day looking though all these kool and very well built bikes here, they all have there own flavor in detail. I agree it would be hard to leave each and every one a comment of complement to there masterpieces. All you can do is enjoy them and creat your vision on your canvas.
He doesn't make'm; an industrial firm in the Czech Republic makes'm. No matching fronts, unfortunately. The driver will take a standard threaded BMX freewheel, if ever you wanted to run rim brakes and have a poor man's freecoaster..
32h fronts are easy.... you just gotta figure what kind of look you're going for. The cheap Origin8 track hubs come in silver, are high-flange and have "windows"... sealed bearings and 32h drilling, but with an old-school look....

Between $25 and $50, depends on where you get'm. junkyrustybikes.co has'm on-sale for $25 right now, but they take forever to ship, or so i've been told. Most spots seem to get $45 for them. The hub is officially called Origin8 Pro-Pulsion Lite....
