Hi guys and gals.
after shelving my cruiser build for the moment (need time to incubate idea's) I've started a new project.
I picked up this old lugged bike off ebay for cheap, I guess it's a tourer(not particularly upright or forward lent).
originally had 26x1, 3/8" wheel sets which ill throw out and a bunch of random original parts.
The plan is to basically replace everything.
I'm building a new wheels set up using a Sturmey archer front drum hub, 5 speed drum rear and polished 700c rims. They will be wrapped in some 700x35 schwalbe brown delta cruisers
Picked a set of black anodized handle bars cheap and a random used stem. I stripped both back to bare metal and polished them both.
Before:
After:
I still have to track down crank set, pedals and seat(some thing brown and leathery) and general accessories.
