Toad

[Bpool77]

Colour is same as Gibbs fishing lures. (not nearly as sexy now, huh). no pink just lots of bright/almost fluorescent orange.

Gibbs lures ( no emotion for tong out) as I'm fishing a lot trying to sort my head out :facepalm: life coaches needed, plus stronger than me pal they are very fitting, collectible, and that colour? I've never seen? The toad looks a lot better now, I did like the halos though? Happy Christmas.

Not really feeling the Sturmey or prior the bar/stem combo, almost brought a tear to my eye when I first saw it.

Great choice of parts for the build!

Oh and the reason I ask about the fork dropouts is just to compare with the B fork I recently scored.

Happy Holidays!

How does the suntour/scissor brake conversion work? I was thinking about doing something similar with mine, i've never seen it done before. The bike looks fantastic, would love to land such a beast.

its a handmade deal. I will snap a closeup and post. really simple principle.

I was hoping that we'd see that Toad restored with proper parts.

It's fantastic, well done.

For Futuristicoldman, have attached a few pics of the rollercam mod. kinda' cool setup. works too. I'm sure its been done before tho...everything has.

The fork dropouts are shimano. Oddly yours are the eyeleted version

The inside face will have a 2 letter code that's most likely for the date, and just above that where it's joined to the leg there's some fork rake info in electric pencil

Awesome pick up. That is one of the bikes I'd love to find one day.

 

[Mr.Toad]

That's quite a collection of forks, wow!
