I can not believe that none of you guys grabbed it!


So today I dropped the kids off at school and made the Two and Half hour drive to Ohdeebee's shop
Broken Spoke Bike Studio

Great Guy! Great Shop! wish I could of stayed longer but had to make it back to pick up the boys! :shock:

What would keep me up at night. Was the thought of the rear Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub with drum brake and vintage top bar shifter.

I want to put it on Blue X :wink:

The Ellswick's is amazing!

I will take better pics over the weekend.....I think I can use the Rod Brake hardware from the BottomBracket back

The rims are even cool on this thing!

I didn't even notice that the tires had air! tell I got home

I took it for a ride around the block. everything even works!!

Both brakes and All three gears

Lots of great stuff on this bike!

Thanks to ohdeebee

and Thanks for looking!

I feel bad that I haven't made the 40 min. (if that) drive to see the Ohdeebee..though he has been to my house once or twice.

Nice looking Brit bike. I just got bitten buy the rod brake bug, myself. Here is my new Raleigh DL-1 Tourist frame sitting on a new set of 28 x 1-1/2 Westfield single speed wheels. I can probably find more of those wheels and single rims. :wink:

Notice that the rear axle is sitting under the fishtail. I have to grind some flats in the huge, industrial strength axle to get it in the frame. I plan on doing something like a Pashley Guv'nor. I have that Sturmey Archer "quadrent" shifter, also.
