Powder Keg:
I'm pretty excited about this project. I found a neat seat that I'm going to make for mine.
It'll make it look more authentic to.
Ned Ludd:
Have a care as to where you fit a brake to your Ordinary. They tend not to be fitted to the front wheel as it makes you take a nose dive if applied. :( They can, however, be fitted to the rear wheel, but may require advance notice, in triplicate, before being applied.

Powder Keg:
I'll be taking it easy that's for sure Ned:o) I might add a brake to the rear I'll have to see how this works out. Still a lot of work yet to do before I need to worry about brakes :ddb:

Great work so far and I'm loving that roller :thumbup:
Can't wait to see more.
Powder Keg:
I have the hubs nearly half done. They are turning out nice. The material is 4.5" Bronze shaft. They will each be drilled and tapped 30 holes for 5-40 threads. I think. I need to get the thread nipples here.
I should have these ready to drill the spoke holes in a day or so? We'll see how things go.
Thanks for watchin :ddb: :nrocks: :ddb: :nrocks: :ddb:
