Whow, I'm well impressed, very nice work!!! As a child I used to dream about building an old fashioned bike like that but it drifted away and than the 2cv's came  
Keep up this rather good work!, Bart |

Great stuff!
Are you using bearings on the axles?

Make a video when it´s ready of you riding it. I really like the look of these bikes but I am very curious how they ride...

I will.
Here is something I worked yesterday.
Seat and leaf spring on it. Spring is piece from old Ford Prefect
what I modified whit heat. There is now guite some English Ford
parts in bike I will see how much I need to still modify it cos
I didnt have bike near me when making it. Drilling 2 holes (on
front of spring) spring metal is nice experience, I warmly recomend
everyone to try it
