I checked further on this. I think its best to pass on this one unless you can meet in person.

Threw some parts at my '39 Colson Klunk-Rat and headed out for a shakedown cruise. Overall it performed well, but it can and will perform better with a few tweaks. And maybe a few different parts. The 3/4" solid steel tool handle I used for a seat post is too short, but it's all I had here.

Headed out for a night flight on my '39 Colson-Firestone Klunk-Rat after finishing my 2 piece stainless layback post.

Took a nice ride down to the Harbor on my '39 Colson-Firestone Klunker.

That front chainring looks like a great match with the Nexus 3 speed @Rattman13. Is it about 40 tooth?

39 tooth it was the smaller chainring for the Schwinn Varsity, and later showed up on some of their bmx bikes.

Out for a nice evening ride on my '37 Western Flyer Klunk-Rat. Mostly good except for a slightly mobile seat, seems using 2 sets of shims to go from 7/8" to 5/8" is nearly impossible to get tight enough. May have to try a 13/16" post with one shim, or a 7/8" BMX post with no shims.
