thank you!

for the wheel,
you have to take a steel wheel like this:
Image

not like that because it is a bad weld:
Image

cut between the spoke holes with a small grinder placed on the floor, hold it firmly and turn the rim to get a straight cut
Image

Image


after simply rolling a sheet of good size and welded together the pieces of rim

I'm looking for a large hub (170 mm) coaster brake, a banana seat and a tire type dragster in 26x3

Do you know a good shop that offers delivery in France for not too expensive?

The frame to fork transition is beautiful! This is going to be a work of art!

looks really good so far, keep up the great work :)
one question tho, how r u planing on doing the hub for the rearwheel?
are you going to widen that aswell? and will it have brakes, gears, freewheeling etc?

Man, you've got me excited now. I can't wait to see that crank. Is that a spoke threading tool. If so, where did you get it? Excellent work so far.
