The finished bike
Build thread is here

The weather isn't cooperating for decent pics so I'll post up a couple from my disaster area of a shop along with something from earlier when the Typhoon was done but not really.
Here we see the two speed kickback hub, the brand spanking new alloy rims, the smiley face valve cap, and the world's cheapest 3 piece crankset adorned with $12 plastic pedals. In the background, a stylish silver/black chain and a not to code electrical outlet to show just how off the chain things realy are around here. yeah, that's how we roll. Building code? Pfft.
Generally finished, on it's first outing. The crank shown was put back on the POS it came off of, and the stem has been changed to move the bars out a touch.
You'll have to check out the build thread for all the secrets but here it is all finished and such.

Typhoon Too
After some wandering with my dog this afternoon I decided to change the direction I was going to go with my recent Typhoon find. ingola's build likely influenced me along with the klunker threads here. I'd like to be using a '62 frame also because that's the year I was born, but a few weeks...
