5 Bar dubbed "Led Sled"

[yeshoney]

I had this Monark Springer at the LBS for 2 inches of additional threads to compensate for the smaller head tube and the fact this fork was for a ladies head tube. No need to cut the tube either as I just reordered the hardware installation and man do I love the look! What do you think???

Other pics are of the frame and 7 speed Blackout Nexus hub riding on '36 Vintage triple steps.

A few update pics

Just threw the fender on to check for fit and it looks good. Not sure what I am doing about braces yet. i want something unique. As for the sprocket I threw on a Krate mag Sprocket and i like the look with the deep fenders. I think I am going to have to go with whitewalls though!

Fender braces

Had to go thru the parts closet to find some fender braces that would work. Found a set of Prewar flat braces for the back and had to grind out a rivet on each side to allow the arms to swivel for the fit into the existing fender holes. For the front I had a set of beat up Monark fenders that came from a girls bike and had the short sides. Still have to make a few adjustments to them to get the correct radius back, but they are correct for the fork. As usual I have had to mock up, take apart, adjust and repeat about 25 times to get it right. But it is always worth it!

Bontrager 26 x 2.35 Wide Whites installed

Got the Solanas and installed them. I like the look and they are just wide enough to max out the space available under the fenders.
