Two towns over to the farmers market in Collinsville, CT for produce, meat, and brunch. Farthest I’ve gone on the ‘55 Vette. Stock 18T cog on the Sturmey, 35 lbs on the rack, and another 85 tied to the axle (10 less on the way there). I was running 55lbs in the tires, and rear felt like it was deflating. I won’t say it was a walk in the park, but we made it, and I’m a better person because of it.

The verdict is in: As I suspected, an old middleweight Schwinn is really all the bike I need.

Didn't ride it far. Looks like the sweetheart sprocket has to go. The extra washer needed for the chain ring to clear the frame causes chain misalignment with the rear cog. I do have another smaller chain ring - just had my '' heart " set on the sweetheart sprocket. Boooooo.
