8XE finally running

The magneto came back from the painter and we have installed it on the bike. Some time spent making adjustments and she is now finally up and running.

When the Coronavirus lockdown is over we will take her out for a few miles and get her dialled in and sort out any other niggles. For sure we need to look at the rim on the rear wheel.

Stay safe everyone.

10 F pedalling gear.

The pedalling gear is all sorted and fitted now. The cranks and internal parts all came with the project. The sprockets needed some work to fit and we needed to fabricate a few small parts.

The pedals came from Aaron Mohr and the brake actuating rods from Jethro Smith. Next is the build of the rear wheel.
