Loving this bike, Mark. FWIW, I'm pretty sure that's not what the other holes on the fork's ends are for, but it's awesome how you adapted them to work with the drum brake. How bout some more update pics, showing off the whole build so far?
Almost there! Need to find some decent red & grey/silver cable ties, and rig chain and shifter. I also have my eyes on a different seat post & some pedals. Can't wait to make this one my daily rider.
