1899 Columbia chainless Mod. 59

And the finished bicycle (sans front wheel nuts because I don't have a single 5/16-32 and neither does my LHS). So of course I can't ride it yet for the silliest reason.

Did you have another rear hub or did you unlace the original one?

Unlaced my original. Hunting?

So the axle nuts I need are 5/16-28...does anybody have any suitable nuts in this size?

Hi
I have a 5/16 x 28 tap. I ran it through a 5/16 fine thread nut and it should be okay. Takes a 1/2 inch wrench. I did 2 of them.
If you want them get back to me with your mailing address. They are used nuts that are bicycle related with still some nickel. just PM me your address.

This was a thought I had as well. There is a large, old tap set at my work I'm going to check tomorrow and if not, I will likely be in touch. Thanks!
