UPDATE
Quick build update im not using my bendix 76 hub on the bike...I sold it to a man that was rebuilding his childhood schwinn and needed it to complete his rear wheel...so im taking the money from that and buying a New Departure Model A, I have always wanted one but never found the right time to use it. so im on the hunt for it. I know they are out there i just need to find the right person who will sell me one...so that means my kustom wheel set has been put on hold for a while untill I get it. I bought my 26x1.175 front quick brick and rear 24x3 thick brick felt tires and should be at my door monday. Also my rear rim and spokes are comming in monday and as soon as I get it painded it will be ready for a hub then put on the bike. :mrgreen:

Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(minor name change)

Just a minor name change...I desided to through the BANDIT into the name since I am after the beatnik bandit look.

Re: *BIG DADDY BANDIT*THE ED ROTH TRIBUTE(minor name change)

sounds pretty good to me! the name can truely make or break a car/bike.
