This is where I'm stopping on the Everton build until after Christmas...unless I get bored or tired of family.


The rear fender looks whacko because I used the same mounting holes as on the donor bike. That will get changed. The seat post was an experience. I think the original seat post was shimmed just like the donor bike. There were burrs, burns, and seams to remove to fit the 26.0 post. I used a brake cylinder hone, a lot of WD-40, a 1/2" Dewalt drill, and lots of test fitting to get the post to fit. I had hoped that the frame used a 25.4 post but my nice aluminum one dropped straight to the BB shell.
I'll be doing some arky sparky to the rear rack to install some different upper mounts. Had to cut the original ones off to get the rack to sit level.
