Will do!

Well I got her on the ground using a random fork.I just wanted to see how it looked-Then the camera died.But i'm finishing the actual fork tomorrow.
For now here's the best shot I could get of the badge...after numerous tries(hence the camera dying).

Re: Trussworthy-6/2--Smelly bars!

Update for Friday(I know it's Saturday...) Put in the bottom bracket and crank set up,a mix of Schwinn and Sugino.Got the Pedals rebuilt and converted over from 9/16 with brand new 1/2 inch axles.Went surprisingly smooth,much like everything else on this build.The bike should be done today(for the most part :wink: ) and I will get photos of the whole bike.

Re: Trussworthy-6/4 Pedals & such...Forkified.

Not the best photo,but I think the brass wing nut goes well with the unmistakably classy Perry coaster arm.

And some vintage Brooks B-72 cush for the toosh.

Whilst waiting for leather for the grips to soak up some water I decided to take one outof the stable that I build about 10 years ago and take a spin

I'll keep the updates coming...I can see the end and it's beautiful :mrgreen:

Alright!!! At last you actually get to see the bike in its entirety! -Finally got her on the ground! Minus the seat and bars.I still cant believe these monster 28x 1 1/2 wheels fit this frame.I will be riding down to the local pub tonight on this sucka.Next seat and bar install.

Re: Trussworthy-6/4 On the ground!

Blasting through this today,I always work better under pressure though.Got the bars and stem polished.

Started to get the grips done.Soaked the leather in water for a while.Sprayed some tack on them and grabbed the hook needle,some waxed dental floss and went to town. Surprisingly haven't ever done this before,I think they are rad.

The bike should be done very shortly :shock:

Alright....Went out today in the storms and got pics from around town, in between the rain.I didn't move the bars because they were pleasantly comfortable and I forgot the wrench at the shop.
I'll post up some final pics later,to tired now...So here she is.Enjoy,because I sure did!
