I was torn between the The sublime green and the Hugger orange Eric. But Green is my fav color
Today I had the springer bead blasted. It cleaned up great!!! I ordered new bearings also. The cone on the stem was all beat up. The bolts in this thing are non existent. You can't buy them. I'll be making some spiffy new stainless ones.
My new wheels and tires showed up also\o/ Here is the new front one next to the old one. Nice and skinny:o)
All the parts for the back one are here also. Were going to lace it up on Friday :D I'll get pictures.

Morning,
A man after my own heart, a great looking bike.
Ive never seen a suspension fork of that type before, any chance of a closeup of the mechanism that does the 'springing'?

Powder Keg:
I am trying to come up with a nice looking, functional, smallish rack to fit on my bicycle. I think I'm going to have to compromise with a nice looking one. To be functional and be able to carry stuff it can't really be that smallish. I'm going to try and paint her up this weekend. That way I'll be closer to finishing something.

The spring is just like one in a spring mouse trap. Just bigger:o) I'll get a picture next time I have it together.
MadNick:
Thanks Wes,
Im looking forward to seeing it finished.
Youve given me some impetus to make a start on my spare frame :)

Powder Keg:
The rack is ready to braze onto the frame. I brazed rivets on the bottom for Bungee lugs.
I was going to paint today but the humidity is too high. Don't want to chance it.
