I decided to get started on this old Rupp today and went ahead and stripped and primed the frame and fork.
Anyone have any suggestions for brakes? I don't have the factory Rupp wheels and am trying to figure out something that won't involve welding. Any suggestions? Maybe someone has some old Rupp wheels with the brakes that would work?
Also, the components on the jackshaft are toast. I would like to just scrap the 2-speed setup and just use a two sprockets jackshaft. Can I just drill and pin a couple of sprockets to the existing shaft? Would an Azusa shaft drop-in and be easier to deal with? I am welcoming any suggestions.
Yes, Kenny I know where I can get a seat!:smile:
I found these pics on the pitpro.com site and I guess it is basically what I am after. Notice the jackshaft appears to have a sprocket mounted on the outside of the frame.
