davey1991 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well it started off as just a frame then i rode it around like this... Now i'm building it up with period parts as a cruised i'm really excited. And my pride and joy for this bike. Almost unused late 70's sturmey archer 3 speed hub! Trying to find a matching rim so i can build this onto my current front wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Went and got a spare front wheel from tobias which happened to be identical to the one already on my bike, took it apart and its now built up on my shiney sturmey archer hub!

davey1991 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 No tyres or cranks But this is what i have now, happy with the wheel especially as its made from a pack of spokes i ordered ages ago that where the wrong size.

Luke Rainbird Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Didn't think to sort out the mess of a rear rim while you were at it then?! Cool stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I've got some tyres and cranks both useless currently. Need to completely slick the tyres and somehow get the cranks off the other bike. In other news i just bought a mint condition Marlboro Woodstock which will probably be sold.
