I can help you out with a 3 speed hub or three, rear fender, chain guard, generator, and maybe a headlight. I'll be at Lake Pepin this weekend, so we'll have to work something out at a later date.

What a fantastic project! At the Lake Pepin 3speed Tour 2 years ago, Joe who's from Indy brought a recumbent he'd built from a Raleigh Robin Hood. If you need any help, let me know...

So after the tweed ride I decided I needed a fine piece of British steel for the next ride in September but I have a deep desire to do it my own way so I am planning to build a British tall-bike as decked out as I can manage, as in full fenders, working 3-speed, full chain guard, lights and such, by the next ride and I was hoping to ask this wonderful group of enthusiasts for a little help; I need parts.

I already have a trashed out low step over Hercules for my top frame but I need more parts to make it all happen so if any of you have some janky stuff lying around you would like to donate or sell or a line on where I can cheaply purchase some of the following items I would appreciate it.

I could use the following:

Two more frames, preferably one, or both, standard frames.

One set of peaked fenders in decent shape, chrome if present can be shot but I would prefer them pretty straight. I might want an extra rear but I don;t have the whole design finalized yet.

A whole bunch of chain guards, condition does not matter.

3 speed hubs and wheels, functional if possible.

Generator and lights of vintage appearance.

Brakes, shifter and any accessories of properly vintage appearance and/or origin.

I would really like this project to be built out of all British parts if possible and look as true to the concept as possible with the exception of the whole height thing... I recognize some of the parts and accessories required to achieve this are uncommon, and valuable, and I am more then happy to compensate people for them. I am not looking for handouts, I just want to make sure I tap every resource out there to make sure this thing looks the part.

Thanks!

Hmmm, different, I must say. I'm not a fan of Rap and this didn't help but......enjoyable in its' own way.

Fellow Nutters!

I think we have a new theme song for Winston's Tweed Rides! Possibly the best Rap about a cup of tea EVER!

Great film, thanks!

And I just realized that justJason might be interested in this blog post on Kraut bikes! It's by a buddy of mine up in the Twin Cities.

There are a few mass riders who have them and might go; we'll see their PFs now that the weather is warmer.
