Last week, John, Brandon, Jessie and I finished putting back our cruiser together. It's now only missing two top tube cable housing clamps, which should arrive soon. In the end we put together a bike with parts from the USA, England, Japan, China, Germany, and France.
We rebuilt the back wheel to change a faulty Shimano hub for a sturdy 1950s Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub, made in England. John built the wheel for us.
We put some real cork grips to give it a vintage look.
We rigged the cable of the 3-speed hub through a cable stop and a pulley.
Finally, we passed the cables through white cable housing to match our MPH color theme, and adjusted the brakes.
