Today I received a second tubluar and two tubes of cement in the mail. Then I proceeded to glue both tires to the rims. Now I have to wait for the cement to set and then I’ll be able to inflate the tires and put them on my bike.

The next bit of work necessary to get this bike back on the road is to connect the brake system. As I intend to have a child’s seat over the rear wheel, I will not be able to enjoy the full benefits of my fixed gear – so I have to connect a braking system. Fortunately, I am using an old road racing frame to make my city hybrid. She’ll be a fast and manueverable beast which can transport me and my bubby all over the city – no more subways! At least when it’s just the two of us.
