I'm looking for a Atom front brake. 36H and 80 gauge.
If you have a licence built set from another manufacturer, I'm interested as well.
Or if you have a nice set of Union brakes and want to sell would be even better, but never seen them for sale.

Not much atm... I can't get these brakes alligned good enough yet.
I'm searching for some drums after all, I like the idea of canti's but I do want to ride it like its meant to be and that's not working with the canti's at this moment.
Thanks! This Cyclone was also sold with a long case and that should be long enough for these gears.
So I'm looking for one on Ebay right now.

Your build looks a lot like mine, I'm finally building my 41 DX, see topic: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/klunker-build.82439/post-1083131
What tires are you riding?
Time for paint
First Creme paint:
Stencils:
And finished:
The white could have been a little more creme, and there are some little scratches from removing teh stencils, but overall I'm pretty happy with the result.
So, almost 6 years after buying the frame and most of the parts I'm finally going to build it. :-)
These are the parts I'm building it with, had a few changes over the years.
Good point, I'm building a clunker with parts from around 78.
So with period correct I mean what was available around that year.

What's the name of the model of the Carlisle and Schwinn?
I got one NOS 26" blackwall Uniroyal and been looking for another one for ages. A similar one from the same period would help a lot.

I got a Muddyfox from '84 and really like the ride of these oldies.
I might put some of these tyres on, they look super cool!

Thanks, the project is still waiting till we are moving next month.
Then I got a shed of 200 ft2 so enough room to build a painting booth and get started with the frame.
Can't wait to finish this one after 2,5 years!

Great clunker you got! I love those blue rims.
I'm still thinking what paint scheme to go for.
I really like the idea of candy red with cream, but when I see yours, black seems very cool to.

For me this build is all about making a period correct replica of a type of bike that changed the world of biking big time.
These pioneers tried a lot of different parts back then and choose whatever part was the best at that moment and using Schwinn canti's was done by some racers before the...
I'm afraid it might be to short as well, but couldn't find a longer one. I'll have to try when it is finished.

I had that in mind for this build, everything was tried back then.
For parts choice I used Alan's site and combined a few builds to my taste.
This will be a approx. '78 build when the first alloy rims came availlable.
BTW the set of canti's are both for the front, so I'll have to check if I can use them on the rear.
The rear ones are pretty rare, never seen one for sale before.
Thanks for the replies all, I made up my mind.
I want the frame to be as original as possible, so decided not to braze on the bosses I already bought a while back.
A member here has a set of canti's for sale, so going for that.
Just the mounts and the brakes, and will use the motorbike...
Here are some pics of the build.
