R20 S2C project

There was a previous thread about this, but it must have been archived.

Synopsis: Dynocoaster donated a R20 frame for a build around a Sturmey Archer S2C hub; I volunteered. Dynocaster sent the frameset plus extra bits, I started gathering parts.

Then I got sidetracked building this:


Now back on board with this build. Have gathered pretty much everything I need, just gotta get some time to do the work, including cutting down and rethreading the BB and chopping a bit off the headtube.

Got the wheels built:
Front is SA FD 70mm drum brake, laced 3x with wheelsmith 2.0 stainless spokes, brass nipples, 36h Velocity Aeroheat rims.
Rear is SA S2C 2sp kickback hub with coaster brake, same rim and build as above.
Suckers are stout, to say the least. Happy surprise: flats of the S2C axel seem to play extraordinarily nice with rear dropout width, like it was made for it. New roadblock: fork too narrow, will need to be spread...
