I am always on board with and GSC build!!!!! Great parts so far.

 

[gsc]

Thanks kingfish, can't wait to see what you do with yours.

 

[Bike Bum]

I totally love that frame and those forks! Good luck with your build, I'll be watching for sure.

Thinking bare metal with a twist , with red scallops, just gotta find a piece of scrap to play with.

Here is a closeup of the rims I am using, best part is the we're free bees left over from a swap meet , scored these a couple years ago.

Love wheels with pin stripes!

Luke.

 

[gsc]

Hopefully start playing with the frame sometime this weekend, getting custom stainless spokes cut , so my wheels are on hold till they get done.

I don't know what the crank and sprocket came off but it was way too funky as far as the thread size and the bearings didn't sit on the race right, so I spent most of the morning piecing together bearings and races , ended up using my crank I had already, now to take the straps off these and clean them up.

That tank and chainring are great!
Putting a wheel in those forks is a little tricky and you may end up needing some nylon spacer nuts. I'll try to find the link to how I pieced it together for Flexy.

Started playing with the mock up with this old set of rat wheels, and I get to polish up the Torrington stem again

 

[gsc]

Have to get the fat franks and see how clearance will be.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Looking very cool, lots of vintage and traditional parts!

Luke.

 

[gsc]

Thanks Luke, and thanks Kingfish for your link..

Not sold on the bars yet, even though they are Torrington s just to much of a wrap around for what I am looking for.

 

[gsc]

Played around a bit with some potential bars, the red ones are calling me, only problem is the Torrington stem will not work with them, and then to keep the bar clamps somehow , maybe a double clamp mt bike stem base, we'll when I get to play in some daylight I will see what I can do.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Cool bike!

 

[kingfish254]

I like the red bars too but I wonder what a MTB stem would look like on the build.

 

[HuffDaddy]

I like your build!

 

[gsc]

I will play with different bars this weekend and see what makes me happy.
