Basically cut up a rear rack, cut and bent some brackets, then used whatever i could find in my parts box. Wheels came from a Masi, some cheap unsealed hubs to some weinmanns.
Frame is a Kuwahara, was an Indi Hawk (here in Australia). Kuwahara headset and bb cups with gipiemme spindle, Kashima Saddle, Sugino Aero Mighty cranks, Stronglight fluted seat post. Stem and bars are cheapy items. Oh and the Penfold Grange Wine Box from the oldies.
Plans if i decide to actually spend on this thing - coaster brake 700c wheelset, 26.0 post (a nicer one), powder coat frame, Nitto Stem with VO Montmartre bars, varnish/weather seal the box. But we'll see, i kinda like it being an 'i dont give a fukk' bike.
