That'll do nicely.
Thanks everyone,
Cant wait to get it finished now! Rear hub is now at my local deport, so it should be delivered later today
Just need a new strong chain
I have thought about a front brake. My worry is that if the chain snaps, i wont have any brakes. I've never ridden a coaster brake before, so i will see how i get on, however i think it will be a lot easier to use than my Fixie which had a 52/17 combo... That needed brakes as it was a proper knee snapper with that ratio!

The red looks definitely right.
For road legal, you need two brakes - a fixed gear counts as one...
Beyond the issue of the chain snapping, we all know that the front brake is the one for actual stopping - under any braking the rear wheel will lighten up. Do yourself a favour and fit one. Your face might thank you, especially if you are using it for commuting.

Thanks matey!
Yeah i suppose you're right... I'll look at getting a flat bar lever for a front brake set up
Dont suppose any of you guys know where i can get a Brake Arm Clip for the Coaster Brake Arm... I've found one for the Sram Automatix and it comes in sizes 20mm and 22mm. What size is this exactly, as i measured my chainstay diameter and its only about 16/17mm?
Thanks again for the help
