I'm putting together a nice new sit-up-straight, dutch style bike for my girlfriend and need a few bits. It's an old Blackpool hire scheme frame, pic attached if interested.
1st: A Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub with coaster brake + shifter etc if you have it but not essential. 32h or 36h preferably.
2nd: I think the frame builder got confused and used a top tube as the head tube BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING MASSIVE. I've found 3 OTP forks that come with a steerer tube of +28cm (Kinesis XLT, Gusset Jury, Identiti Tuning fork) but if you know of, or better have some threadless 26" forks with a huge 1" 1/8 steerer and V brake bosses let me know.
