'British' Clunkers dont exist so its a Tracker Homage instead: ''Wheezer #1''

As there seems to be a trend to build old bicycles into, er, old bicycles but with bigger wider bits, here will be my super lame effort

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.




So what’s the plan?

 

[legrandefromage]

just looking at bits

I can just remember the trackers of old - wheelies mostly

And as I'm a tight arse, I'm using stuff I have with just stem and wide bars to source

Havent decided on wheels yet - 700c or 26 or 26 3/8

Sturmey or 5spd etc etc etc

Got to do some measurements

Oh my god what have we started

Oh my god what have we started

I know, we've run out of bikes to restore so lets make up something new old!

The Kermitans watched and slowly and steadly they drew up their plans...
