Cruisin' on my Bluebird
so another afternoon of tinkering as I'm waiting on the majors to pan out - yes, I know, you're supposed to build a bike from the bottom up, but I'm keeping all this stuff out of the way.
Routed my brake cables and even adjusted them near enough with a couple of wood blocks I use to adjust to the Synergy rims on my other bike when the wheels are out
again, this is just a mock up of the bottom - my tap is supposed to be here in a week.
The FD, along with the chain guard, is intentionally high right now to make room for working on the bottom end.
But I did cable the FD and left side Huret shifter, because none of this will be in the way, and the operating derailleur lets me better see how the chain guard will finally fit up.
But again, the chain guard can't be finally fit until the wheels are on and the derailleurs are fully adjusted.
you Schwinn guys should like this, though Huret reads upside on the shifter band.
Found two good places to use some 4mm brass ferrules from a handful I have around
