the more I look at it, the more I like it 
by the way, what is the width of the rear hub ?
what is the exact ref of the hub ?
front hub is 100mm ?
did you have to "adjust" the frame width ?
what was the donor frame ? was it heavy or better ?
love the rear shape
what do you have as rear cog and front ring ?
will start to look at similar donor frames :idea:
but not every road frame could do the job :?:
because of tyre clearance :?

I don't understand.... I was actually lost for words having seen the first picture, and that doesn't happen to me very often.
Holy sh*t, that is such an amazing turn around and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I am sat here astounded, that's a job very well done there.

ok lots of questions:O
Rear hub is 117mm old.
rear hub is a sturmey xrd3

yep, 100mm.
frame was ~ 115mm, so the hub just went in, i didnt cold set it or anything.
Donor frame was a 1930s malvern star frame, frame is heavy as all hell, but so are the rest of bits. complete bike weighs 14.98kg
yeah, tyre clearance is a big issue, i had my doubts the tyres would fit.

Rear cog is the supplied sturmey 19t, front crankset is a japanese something or other pulled off a donor 50s bike as the original cranks didnt actually match.bduc61":2jcijm4s said:
