back in black

[rustjunkie]

Started this a few days ago, here's this AM:

Just took it for a spin. Sturmey S2C in the rear and a Bikedomeworks cartridge up front, Sun Estate rims, double butted black spokes and black alloy nipples. The chainguard was on the bike when I got it; it is not Schwinn, probably a European bike that Schwinn stole the design from. Did the seat last year, it's the fitsall when I need one. Haven't decided which to use for this bike. Rides nice, I'd prefer a bigger cog in the back, but didn't have any cheapie 1/2" chains on hand, needs 1 and a donor. Little things to work out, but it's nearly there; a cool hooptie.

Nice ride! I love these frames. Very streamline.

Are those tires new or old? If new, where can I get some of them? Size?

Thanks man! This one was really a Q&D build, mainly to try out the Sturmey 2spd kicker.
