Have 2 of these 1936 frames and forks, one fork is better than the other but neither is great. Got one together last week.
This frame has a gap between the 2 bars that's 7mm smaller than the other, which gives it a cooler look.
Sitting on Ritchey MTB rims with Wheelsmith double-butted spokes and alloy nipples, bikedomeworks front hub with Japanese cartridge bearings up front, Sachs automatic 2 speed at the rear.
The hub shifts automatically at ~12mph, no need to backpedal. The shift point can be tuned by taking the hub apart and increasing or decreasing the spring tension.
Not sure if I'll finish this one or not as the fork is mangled, but it might be cool with a Landing Gear or other 26" bmx style fork.
