Finally riding a big boys bike
Wanted a frame to run these Sturmey Archer drum brakes on. Tires look so skinny sitting in that frame. Will be putting cream tires on soon. Looking for a pair of 80's shimano road weighted platform pedals.. called aramac? or something similar I think. 'Adamas' I just found some.....
Cranks are old bmx 180 Profile Racing with a 5 bolt ring adapter. You can see that I cut a drop bar and exteded it with syncros long barends. Getting some bare brass repro Royal Enfield brake levers and using a cute brass bar mounted choke lever for the 3-speed shifter. Found some new fabric covered cable housings for a period look. Will try match the fork to the faded frame plum colour. Have a line on a hairpin saddle that I might try and a 7/8 adjustable tom drum mount shaft for a seatpost. Might fail before I get to the mailbox...... will post progress images if there's any interest. Fun!
