Well done John , well deserved

Attention to detail and the amount of time and effort you put into it is a credit to you mate.

It's as mad as a box of frogs but it's one hell of a cool bike

"Well I say" nothing like using up most of the dictionary

Mad as a box of frogs. Loads of thoought, planning & effort clearly went into this. Not to everyones taste of course, but I think it's great!

snoopy72 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2015, 06:21 PM »

You may think this as even more crazy

I was thinking today and I need to stop doing it

(I love Z'ds) remove the wheels complete (keep them of course) and purchase 2 x schwinn 170 hubs and lace them to a couple of NOS z-rims so it looks like it's on nylon skinnies and the angle of the spokes from the hubs will really show off the spokes.

I wonder

Thank you everyone on RAD for your support on this project.
The breakdown, measurements and build are now on retro-goose.com in the projects section.
