Dyno makeover..

[mikeeebikey]

You guys might remember this from the show me your street sweeper thread.
Don't worry, the fenders are to be repurposed.
Long story, had a customer bring me a 1990ish FUJI, that had a 105 groupo. He bought an entire modern 105 groupo and had me switch it out. Got done, asked what to do with the old stuff???
He says, "throw it out."
YATZEE!!!!!
Thru horse trades, and lucky finds I have the parts to build my spandex fighter.

I need a thumb shifter, preferably indexed for 6 or 7 speed shimano.
Red brake housings, and some chrome cable clamps.
A little red and black roadie seat.
Anyone that has the parts I need, post it up! (Send p m with $ and PayPal info)
Thanks.

It rides good! I did a lap around my lake, fast! Not to uncomfortable except that seat!

It looks fast just standing still!

I got this almost done, going to get a seat and an old school steer tube mounted shifter...

Like with this bike! The bars are made to be this way, before I had them up, 3 speed position, and they felt, odd.

I rode 30 miles my first ride, at 26 I lost feeling in my left hand. Considering the damage to my arm from a bad employer, that is really a long ride for me. Averaged 15.7 mph!!! I know, road guys are laughing, but compared to my cruiser speeds, this is like going from dial up to cable!

So it's shown, with q.r. rear wheels and slotted dropouts, you must locate the wheel permanently. So it cannot slide forward, this frame has enough room so I used the front of the dropout.

In the past I have used a nut and bolt in front of the skewer as a stop.
I am not sure if this sated or started my skinny bike thing, I know I want to ride it!

Very cool! Those bars look perfect like that.

Went and saw Big Daddy yesterday, he helped me pull an old schwinn friction shifter!!! The price was righteous! Thanks Daddy!

Love the way that the cables fell on this bike.
