I have moved my build operation into the garage until it gets real hot then I will be moving back downstairs. Bike is looking good.

Looking awesome so far, can't wait to see it finished!

Those little short throw shifters work great with the nexus, but when you take them apart for paint, pay close attention to the sequence of all those little brass washers and how many were on each side of the plastic cover! Just TRUST me on this, it won't shift if you have them wrong

WOW I wish you had posted that earlier I spent last night taking the shifter apart and then back together for over an hour LOL. It was either to loose or to tight to shift butt I finally got it it shifts perfect

Been THERE! Sorry I didn't see this until today. If you extend the handle, the plastic "nut" in the center will loosen (vibration) too and throw off the shift pattern
Keep it short and check it often

The bike is looking really good.
