That's a nice bike Kim, had hub brakes right?

Yep...we called it a "Coaster Brake"...and yes, that thing was heavy. My brother A.J. bought it for me when I was seven, and I rode it 'till I was ten or eleven, when I bought a brand new Schwinn "Sting Ray" with my paper route money!

Update:
After having a go on some Aluminium track bikes I decided they were too stiff and geometry too tight for comfortable use on these roads daily, so going with a 520 steel frame instead for this build, just gotta pick up a couple more parts tomorrow.
Also wouldn't wanna drill the aero fork for a break.
Got a decent steel frame already.
Should be fully built by tomorrow night.

Frame is Same geometry as 55cm surlly steamroller but it's been chromed not painted, lookin super shiny.

Got some 5 spoke carbon composite wheels.

Finally finished!
Frame used was a Langster steel fram with 56cm ST, it's got really lovely geometry, Aerospokes roll smooth and buttery with the sealed ceramic bearings.

I'm happy with it and it cost considerably less to build than it's worth!
