*stage 2.0 flying pigeon 26" QE23

I've received my customised flying pigeon, started tweaking it up. looks black on the picture but actually dark olive green. encountered some problems when trying to fit the hub brake rims. the diameter of rim rods are 8.5mm and the original spec only fits 7mm. will need to file it down to fit new rims, but disadvantage would be that i can;t fit back the original rims. i'll leave that to another day, for now i'll just admire it. took off front mudguard to replace. has a little dent.

*stage 01.1 - brake lever set

complete brake lever set for cable operated brakes. cast in steel,
chromed and pre-installed in china. won't be using this set, but
will use some parts for modifications to braking system.

took apart brake hub, need flat spanner No. 15 to adjust rear hub.
brake pads looks hard to replace or find. should start looking for
replacements at bicycle or motorbike shops.

seagull one

since my last bicycle was stolen, i've been longing for it. looking high and low, almost every bike in little india looks like it. and i know every scratch and ding on that bike, i've repainted the white tail end, changed most of the screws to dark metal types and many more. well the truth is, i wanted to lose it. i had too much memories of past on that bike. and i felt it was time to let go of that. in a way the bicycle now leads a new life, as for me too. so i bid you farewell my lovely seagull.
