The Amphibian

[Dizzle Problems]

What did you use for rim strips on the proclass rims? Og ones are hard to coome by. I've read a lot of suggestions on using ribbon and such. Curious which route you went. I have a orphan hoop, and when I find a match I aim to put em to use!

Fortunately the rims were NOS, so they have the original strips. I have some blue metallic tape I was planning on using. It looks really good. Not hard to do.

Finally! A bike that looks AWESOME with the green Brooks saddle and grips!

That blue and green together are money.

Thanks! It was a gamble, but seems to work well.

Working on rear brake ACS MAFAC adapter. First time working with Cantilever brakes, so learning as I go. Not even close to being dialed in. We’ll get there though.

I have a very similar front brake (Seitenzugbremse - side cable brake, roughly translated to english) and it came with a rear one and levers. If You want to search for the rear one they are from Weinmann, vintage.

Thanks. I have a rear Dia Compe Caliper brake. Just wanted to use the ACS / MAFAC combo on the rear. PD @ Skullskates.com sets most of his 26" BMX Cruisers that way.

Great bike and perfect use of the green Brooks saddle!

Humph! I thought it would be an amphibious bike.
