Finally riding a big boys bike
Today was man-up-the-American day. I installed some solid, wider block pedals. They are rebuildable. I put a temporary seat on that is more appropriate for my weight (Mesinger 7000 still on the way). Also, I took the black grips off a girl's bike and put them on here. All black parts. All, better than before. It's a much better ride now. Oh yeah, and I stuck a Dutch bell on the OG handlebars because I will always have one non-American part on this bike. And the bell sounds awesome.
Re. handlebars: i want 5 inches of rise to get the bars above the seat plane. Any suggestions? Scout bar? Cycle truck bar? Any other early 60's bars have that much rise? I really dont want a taller stem.
