So did you know that 20inch wheels come in different sizes
I couldn't find a 20inch 406 rim that was narrow enough
So the the rear is made up with a white industries eno hub on a 451rim
Which means that the back wheel is bigger than the front wheel
Also you try finding black spokes for a twenty inch wheel
These had to be cut and re-threaded
The cranks are sugino mighty
I had them lying in my box of 'bits'
I fitted them up and thought that they looked good against the chrome of the catch
I have a drilled 52t sugino ring waiting for me in the USA that needs to go on
Still to do
For love nor money I can't find a rack that both fits and looks good
BUT I know a man with a dog who makes customs chrome racks for touring bicycles
he said he would take a look
Then when it is all fitted up
I have to take it all apart and grind off the ugly bits
Love it or hate it
This bike get loads of attention where-ever I go
