Also fitted repro vintage style US Royal Chain Tires to the wheels, greased and adjusted axles and coaster brake... Tires were bought off Ebay from Cabe member John..

And now working on this pair of Torrington #8 pedals... The used rubber blocks will be replaced with wooden ones, which are correct for this particular bicycle.
The wooden blocks are excellent reproductions from Bergerwerke.com , and were patterned after the originals on one of my other bikes...

Finished the pedals today...

And assembled the frame, forks, wheels and fenders... Starting to look like a bicycle again...

Great build up and great bike!
I think ladies bikes make great custom rides.
