on this Atom rear, as it will take gearing. The modern Sturmey Archer hubs I linked above appear to be out of production for now. I will either save the old Sturmey Archer single speed I also have, or sell it.
 
Got wheels in. These will be torn down and rebuilt around the drum brake hubs I have, using the Sturmey Archer front, and the Atom rear. I need to research now and figure out spokes. The Atom won't show up until maybe June 9, so will be waiting on that. I have pedals coming soon also. KKT old skool flats. I guess I will spend some time this weekend putting everything else on I can and then wait for the hub so I can build those wheels and put it all together.

I will be in Boise part of next week so maybe I can get started on the front wheel at the Boise Bike Project shop with their tools and learn from that. Anyone have a source for stainless spokes for a ratrod Klunker project?

Ok, sweet! Boise Bike Project has all the shims and spokes I need, and as a member, I can make shop appointments to use their gear and have access to the mechanics for stuff I need help on. So that limits what I need to order online as well. Yay! Looking at next Wednesday and Thursday.
