Boiled Linseed Oil, and some more dry fitting of parts.

Made an offer for $125 (that was accepted)
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?

Cool 👍 @birdzgarage or @Cooper S. might have insight spoke gauge, length for araya atom drum setup.

Yeah you need to use spoke head washers, 13g spokes, and Sapim reduction nipples for the best fit. Alternatively you could drill out spoke holes a little and just use 12g spokes through and through. I don’t remember the length

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.
