It sounds like you need to build two bikes.
looks like it is cast into the tube--nice!
Much better when the paint drys...
I'm actually hoping to be able to highlight some of the pitting.

Could compromise and do a bomber with a kickback 2spd Coaster. I suspect my bomber is gonna have a low and high gear as well.. then you are at least able to crest the top of that last steep hill.... plus have that single speed race gear.
It's pretty light too... surprised me, but no crankset yet either.
Thanks. But...there's no brake hanger in the rear, it's a fender bracket with the hole the wrong way, so I'm definitely building a coaster hub. Which I don't have yet... with rim brakes just on the front, maybe. It'd stop better but look weird. I do like your heatsink...
You can buy the right angle adapters for that... I have heard they are hard to find though.
Not hard to make, the hardest bit is getting the centre bore exact, my hub seems to measure 38.4mm, which matches every other non vintage hub I have... Could probably do it with a flap sanding disc if you were patient...
Yeah I can't see them right angle bits being able to stand up to some off road braking...
You need one of these: http://porkchopbmx.com/Dia-Compe-BR-990-BOOMERANG-BMX-U-brake-adapter-plate-BLACK-100TU02.htm
It's like that huh? Or, I'm a suicide bomber with no front brakes!!!!
I have faith in my provider...Sweet hub find. It'll work well.
Building... riding...
