So it's a year and a half later, how is the Rhoades Car?
It's going well. My family has a beach house in a resort town and that's where this stays. So, it's only in use a few months out of every year. So far I replaced all of the tires with Schwalbe Big Apples. The higher pressure improves the ride in my opinion. I keep them around 65 psi. I replaced some of the steering parts with go-karting equipment to allow for some larger, wider bars - ape hanger like. Re-ran the shifting cables so that the passenger side could access their own - previously they both ran up the steering column which meant the driver had to shift for the passenger. And I got some ground effects LED's for night riding.

Next summer will bring some cleaning up of the surface rust, probably new 1 piece cranks and pedals, and audio.
