73 World Voyageur
I recently bought the frameset wrk101 had on the for sale thread. I won't get to lay my hands on it until August, when I am next north of the border. A year or so ago I bought a set of Sunshine high flange hubs, with a Regina five speed freewheel still attached. I wanted to build a bike around that hubset. This is the one. So I'll busy myself with creatively removing the freewheel, and then building up the wheels. I need to decide whether to use new rims, of two of the collection of 40 year old ones I have. Or something in between. Suggestions welcome.

I have no secret build plans; only the hubs. It will likely be a frankenbike, to begin with anyway. I have lots of Suntour components in the bins.
Thanks for the tip, Metacortex.
