RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE-Worksman Wheels/Drum Brake

[milbums]

Picked up this Colson Evans frame from ASBoltnut.

I wasn't sure what I was going to build, I knew I wanted some sort of gearing to make this a rider. Single speeds can be a little limiting. Then I found this Girvin fork and looks like I will be building a Klunker/Bomber/Cal/BMX Cruiser (not sure what to call it yet).

I stripped the frame and filled in the holes for the rack and fenders.

A little body work and cleaned up the spot welds at the dropouts.

Had these drop centers and picked up a shimano 3-speed

A quick polish on the Girvins and it looks like they will be real nice.

Some parts painted

Trying out a color combination, I am not too sure if I will go with this.

Also have these kneesaver 2 bars, and redline pedals. Will have to mock up and see how they look. I may have to find some better bars.

Love the colors and parts. Great looking start. Are you going to integrate the Girvin legs with the fork you painted????

I am just painting the original fork to match. I dont plan on using it but want to have it match in case I want to switch it up later.

RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE Mock-up

I laced the front wheel and I am waiting on a three speed I ordered from the Electra sale for the rear

I installed the Girvin and bars.

I'm not sure if the kneesaver bars are right for this. Will have to see when it's all together.

Think a straight bar would flow nicely

The stem on this Girvin is steel. I was able to carefully open the jaws (I used a drift in the front hole) far enough to install the bars from the bottom.
