I am always on board with and GSC build!!!!! Great parts so far.
Thanks kingfish, can't wait to see what you do with yours.
Thinking bare metal with a twist , with red scallops, just gotta find a piece of scrap to play with.
Here is a closeup of the rims I am using, best part is the we're free bees left over from a swap meet , scored these a couple years ago.
Love wheels with pin stripes!

Hopefully start playing with the frame sometime this weekend, getting custom stainless spokes cut , so my wheels are on hold till they get done.
I don't know what the crank and sprocket came off but it was way too funky as far as the thread size and the bearings didn't sit on the race right, so I spent most of the morning piecing together bearings and races , ended up using my crank I had already, now to take the straps off these and clean them up.
That tank and chainring are great!
Putting a wheel in those forks is a little tricky and you may end up needing some nylon spacer nuts. I'll try to find the link to how I pieced it together for Flexy.

Started playing with the mock up with this old set of rat wheels, and I get to polish up the Torrington stem again
Have to get the fat franks and see how clearance will be.
Looking very cool, lots of vintage and traditional parts!

Thanks Luke, and thanks Kingfish for your link..
Not sold on the bars yet, even though they are Torrington s just to much of a wrap around for what I am looking for.
Played around a bit with some potential bars, the red ones are calling me, only problem is the Torrington stem will not work with them, and then to keep the bar clamps somehow , maybe a double clamp mt bike stem base, we'll when I get to play in some daylight I will see what I can do.

Cool bike!
I like the red bars too but I wonder what a MTB stem would look like on the build.
I like your build!
I will play with different bars this weekend and see what makes me happy.
