That time of year I guess...
The blog post for it is here:

Thanks for the link; I didn't even realize that the bike was a skip tooth. Might need to get your contact for the hub as I'm debating converting a 20's Ladies Colson to something somewhat similar to you conversion here...
Was that tire thin? I never thought a sweet gum ball could penetrate a bicycle tire... Maybe they are more formidable up there than they are here.
Nice work on that cable-routing too!
