Oh, the TEASE of this build. I keep trying to get down there and hammer it out, and something comes up. My time has been pretty scarce so I do what I can in little chunks. This is what I managed to accomplish in the last few sneaks down there: stem, bars, seatpost and saddle. Cumulatively 5 minutes of work, but really, three days. HA
The stem isn’t in very far. I’m waiting on this and the seatpost until the wheels are ready so I can size it. But it’s no illusion that the stem is long. It’s a rad Nitto longneck I got in order to support both the front rack and the stem-mounted baby seat. It’s definitely going to add to the old-timey look to this build, because it looks random and old.
I’m using a vintage B-17 Brooks saddle on this one. It’ll be easier with the front loading of the bike than my usual Swallows, and anyway, it’s old, which fits. Nice and soft.
Next up: drivetrain. I’ve already spent a few hours on it this weekend and have no photos to show for it. But there have been problems, and I think solutions…
