ALMOST THERE


Things have been moving a long pretty smoothly with the Wild Card and it is 99% finished. I had to order some grease and tools, which is always fun. I got all the bearings packed, tubes/tires mounted on the rims, wheels mounted on the frame, and basically everything is in order as it should be. I did have to fine tune the crank set a few times to make it run as smooth as it could for being almost 80 years old. I also set the chain line, and I figured out how I am going to lock the TDC skip tooth track cog to the 30's Schwinn free-wheel hub. I found out that I can use an old English bottom bracket lock ring... So the search is on for one Here are a couple very quick pictures I took. Let me know what you think
