Got my bike back together , got some wheels , 24x2.125 , they are about 35mms wide , New Thick Brick on the front , Kenda on the back , cut down bent springer fork , this bike has evolved very nicely , just need to do the brakes and figure out how to make it legal.

Bike is great,luv the 24 inch tires gives it a real nice look.Did you make the frame?If so very nice.How is the springer action after cutting it down?

Thanks ..The Fork works pretty good but I havent had much riding time as yet , just got the back brakes working , so hopefully I can try her out soon , the frame is kinda half built by me , I kept the oval bottom tube and rear wheel stays from a bike I cut up a while back , I will make some new rear stays tho as I want a bit more length behind the seat tube , just an inch or so .

Really Neat build on that one! Good Luck on the Sorting!

That's a great job Simon. A front disc will help stop her but the whole thing looks just fantastic now.

That is looking really good. I like everything about it.
The bigger tires really set it off well.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone , its a great ride , smooth, handles nice and light , I am running V brakes front and rear right now , waiting for a new disc and caliper .

She's brill Simon. Where did you get the springers with v-brake bosses? Micargi?
That GB cover spoils the good looks and I wonder if you really need it. Would your pants get pulled into the pulley without the cover?

Ive had my pants caught a few times briefly so I decided to put it on ,it grows on you after a while , that springer I made out of a bent one ,welded bosses on , Ive bought Micargi ones from Helden that have bosses .
