the waiting game...

Here are the parts still waiting to be put on the Wild Card. I am waiting on a few things to ship in such as Phil Wood bearing grease, Velox rim tape, and a few other minor things. Also I went to Via Bicycle Shop here in Philly to have my steering tube shortened and its the best shop I have been to. The place is packed with tons and tons of vintage bikes, parts, everything! This will definitely become my new hang out. Stay tuned as this bike should be finished in the upcoming weeks...

Things rolling along..

Here is a quick test fit things. I had a great shop here in Philly (Bicycle Therapy) lace my hubs/wheel, and they did a great job! I have a few issues to iron out such as the steering tube is a little too long so that will have to be shortened, and I still have to find just the right seat post that I want on this beast. All in all things are coming together nicely specially for a custom build using so many different parts that were never suppose to go together.. Things still on the list.. pack all the bears, shortern the steering tube, fix the cog to the rear hub, search for the seat post, and buy a Brook B72 saddle...
