And the bike is done...

The last few weeks have been a waiting game, the last few items ordered online have taken their time to arrive, the last being the brake cable end stops.  So while I had everything else together, I had no way of using the brakes.

Now that it's all together and the first shake down ride complete, I am very pleased with this project.  What do you think?

It's been a great project to do over the past three months, i've learnt a lot:

• Stripping the bike down and removing the paint took longer than I had imagined
• You use a lot more paint that you think, in fact I would say that I could have done more coats of paint, or been better at those that I applied
• Finding the right bottom bracket axle, front chainring combination is hard, in fact, I am not entirely satisfied with what I ended up with, but it works
• The single speed conversion hub is a genius pice of kit!
• Cyclecross in-line brake levers are no good if you want to have a front and back brake, the original Weinnman levers are perfect
• The 720c wheels from my hybrid bike fitted just fine
• It cost more than I thought it would!
