As you can see lots to do yet only single speed for now and on the look out for some nice forks to fit..have a load of bmx ones but all to short so will have to cut-mod-weld hit with big hammer to make fit..
sorting out the crank will be the next job on the list..
Right back to the cider then oh the joys of pressing apples yourself..hic hic...:D Re-Cycle by the way This is a small UK-based charity that aims to provide affordable bikes to local people in Africa. This helps improve access to employment, education, healthcare and social opportunities in rural communities. From our Colchester UK base, we prepare and ship donated cycles to partner projects in Africa (http://www.re-cycle-east.org/partners/index.html). In Africa, they become essential transport, employment... and provide much enjoyment too.
