I started working on the seat stays for the Holdsworth last week but decided that by the time I’d removed the dropouts and cut slots to go over the new track ends, the diameter was too big to blend nicely with the ends.
Given that I also need a set of seat stays for my Flying Scot I just sat down and put a Ceeway order together.
While I wait for the stays to come I got cracking on prepping the Scot for its new rear end.
Cleaned out the chainstay sockets, got track ends brazed into the chainstays and cleaned up the seat champ cluster.
The joy of 27” wheels is that I don’t need to trim anything off the stays.
The chainstay sockets have holes in for pinning the stays so I’ll be giving that a shot. I think I’ll also need to dimple the stays to create a bit more clearance. I could probably get away with them as is but I want there to be room to fit guards as there’s a nice old set of white Bluemels that came with the bike (it’s my late grandfather’s).
