Rear brake detail added

As requested, a few more pics.....

Yes, I know the QR is on the rear drive side, it is for the kid and picnic hauling trailer. The Blackspire 420 pedals make running errands and hopping on and off to help kids easier than clipless. The mismatched tires are what I had lying around. I am thinking of sending the seat post to be cerakoted this winter.




The fillet brazed stem, seems a shame to paint it.






Hanging out with my dekerf. Should have turned the tire around to face the correct direction, does not really matter for how this bike is primarily ridden.

Parked next to 2 Dekerfs to get the halo effect, maybe nab a few extra votes in BoTM?

I debated re entering the dekerf, but figured the BoTM needed a brodie.

Here is the triple threat.

The stem is a beauty. Build list says syncros but... is it? Seems to be a fillet brazed steel Brodie stem.
