Finally riding a big boys bike
Finally took it out for a ride. Paint shop scanned the colour and it came out with a code for 'Faitigue Green'. The last time they mixed it up it was for a 40's motorcycle. Was able to ride no hands for a couple seconds so very happy with how straight it turned out. Built it with a coaster brake because I don't have levers or calipers (big surprise)
Looks very clean this way. Found some new round head solid rivets for the hinges. Had to use a modern stem and bar because the original cockpit was too tight..... it's much more comfortable to to maneuver.
Pedals are modern quick release...didn't get the rods.

Finally riding a big boys bike
Thanks for sure! Put about 5 km on it today...kept reaching for the brake lever. Haven't ridden coaster brake for so long. Have the cute very short original stem/handlebar combo - if you've riddden one it makes the cockpit very tight. It's just right for me now. I was thinking that although it's not original, that stem echoes the double bar theme of the rest of the frame. That's another excuse.....
Thanks,
KZee
