Florida????, 5 speeds????? = Big gear! Plus it looks older, fits that '50's EletraLux vibe you got going there. :D

That is looking great, and the Schwinn sprocket definitely fits it better.

I wonder about the physics of those rockers. It seems hitting a bump at speed might actually try to pull he wheel back/down rather than compressing it up/back as you would expect. Would it lower it too much up front to flip them?
