I still around and the project continues! Life got in the way and Spring has come and gone, so here is an sorely needed update...

More Updates...
Fenderlite stripped and painted.
We made a drive out to Memory Lane Classics to get a new lense for the fenderlite. I picked up some decals and grabbed up a deluxe chain guard. Not bad for a 3 and a half hour one way drive.

Well, I decided for this build to have wheels built. I am using a Strumey Archer 90mm Drum Dyno Hub on the front wheel and need 12 gauge spokes to beef them up. I chose to use Wheel Master steel rims. I had a local bicycle shop build them in Barberton called R&D Bike Shop. I highly recommend them. Don used my supplied parts and built them quickly and professionally. They are ridiculously strong and extremely true! They look like motorcycle wheels; very happy!!
Here is the build today. Front end is almost complete. I have been experimenting with the Dyno Hub, so I can build my battery charging and lighting setup. As for the Fenderlite, I have rebuilt a cheap Harbor Freight LED flashlight for it. I will take some photos of it before I install the Fenderlite.
