Nice bike,got one in blue a bit ago.Your color is nice too.It,s got a good frame(stuck a 99 h.f. in there)good seat but I changed out the front wheel already for a used one and soon will change rear.Hope you like your fork,I went with a suspension,help's out.Good luck.
 
deff need to get used to it with the wheel so far forward...just got my sturmey archer Front and Rear hubs just need to find someone in the SoCal to lace them for me...
 
What a difference some cushion makes,that's a good trade off.Your talking building wheels,might run a few bucks.Those hubs are sweet but right now only in my day dreams,lot of bills.Have fun and post picture of your progress.
 
Had to hunt up new pic's.Should look good after paint.Your doing it right the first time.If I had a camera mine would be a ugly one in rat rods.Keep us posted.
 
@goog yeah i figured ima take my time and spread the money out on this build to make it easy on my wallet. I do want to finish it before Black Friday... since i work in retail id like to use it to commute on that day for sure.
 
Know what you mean about the wallet.I spent about ten times what the bike cost on parts with no end in sight.Maybe the cooler weather here will slow me down.You don't got that going for you though.Clinch that belt a little tighter,I mean around you.Or put a lock on your wallet too.
