I've always been a big fan of the movie Breaking Away. So anyway I was looking at a bike I got at a police auction for $1 awhile back and got an idea. Why not make a replica of one of the bikes used by the Cutters and other teams in the Little 500. So this has become my new project I figured I would post on the forum to get some opinions and see what you guys think of the idea. Basically the bikes are breakless, use one piece cranks and a coaster break rear. The bike I'm using is an old Ross road bike that I stripped to the frame, I have decided against a repaint to keep that vintage look. The bike has a one piece crank, just like the bikes in the movie, the original double was replaced with a single off an old 3 speed. The bars, stem, and seat were ones I had lying around and the seat post is original. I have a 27" front as well so basically all I need to complete the project is a coaster brake hub and the install everything. Heres some pics our opinions are welcome. Also if anyone has a 36 hole coaster brake hub they would be willing to part with...
