New Wheels!

Today we installed the wheels we had rebuilt after we put new white wall balloon tires on them. We also installed a new chain:

 

Jake shows us what the handlebar is going to look like on this maxi-size low rider.

Ennis, John and Jake are taking stock of the work ahead of us.

Rebuilding

Today we started rebuilding our cruiser. We installed a spring fork and a new crank with the original chain wheel, which John had cleaned up with steel wool. All the ball bearing cups, ball bearings and various other small parts are original and were cleaned by Ennis. We recycled pedals from another bike.
