Hi Curtis & thanks for the complement ....Wheels came off Craig's List, double wall aluminum, 11 ga. I think. They both spin true & are painted with stainless spokes, small 70 mm Sturmey Archer drum & Hystop coaster. $100. total delivered with new tires tires the pair. Unused till I buggered the paint on install, but I'll pretty them up later. Fills the rear up nicely with the 2.125 NOLA Vee tire, but tire rub won't be a problem with chains on either side. The small front sprocket makes the pedal side chain run quite close to the chain stay adjusted with .5" of play. I may add a idler on the pedal side as well.
I mounted a bicycle seat when I installed the pedal side chain, and took the "peashooter" out for it's first slow ride...no kidding a fast walker would have passed me by. It does pedal easy as heck though. I ditched the Walmart looking seat after taking the photo, but it was quick to mount for the test ride.
