Zim, sand your frame down, spray it with salt water, let set for a week or so spraying occasionally, after the desired patina is achived, spray a clear coat over it. For more tips on antiqueing bikes check out ratrodbikes.com • Index page , theres some really cool stuff there...Kelly

For the arthritic lady let me suggest
a girly bike 26" then get yourself a child's 20". Swap the rear wheel and the crank over to the girly bike. That is the only kind i have now except for the china bike and It used to be that way. Still don't know why I changed it. |

I had problems with the sturmey 3 speed hub, it's too big for the drive sprocket's bolt pattern.

-Ben | Why would you have to change drive sprockets on the hub? If it is too wide, you can allow for that when you build the frame. If you are trying to mount it to the existing frame, you can carefully widen the rear triangle of the bike. Instructions for doing so are available.
If you decide you can't use the S-A would you consider selling it?

My problem is related to the hub being too fat for the bolt pattern of the sprocket. A different sprocket would solve this but I'm going to swap for a coaster brake hub. Even the rubber gaskets for my sprocket don't wrap around the S/A hub, take a look at this pic. I can't even get 3 of the bolts through, they align with the spokes right where they overlap. I will be keeping it, though.

Ah so. Gotcha covered.
You will just need to contact Andyinchville. I think he has an extra sprocket or two that might fit. Take a look here: Misc Sprockets For Sale.
I would keep it, too.

Your bamboo bike might benefit from one of Pablo's shifter kits. One thing it does is replace the rear mount with much more support. You can use the S-A, too. And shift it.
I just ordered one.
