Threaders:
A freind of mine back in the day lost his two front teeth going over the handle bars and hitting the concerete!! I was there and still have nightmares about that. I might just fook it and get a jb freewheel adapter. I thought the coaster brake should apply a smooth braking action ie the harder you back pedal the harder the brake applies, but mine locks up the wheel stiff right away.
Ill take it for a spin in the next couple of days and let you know how I get on (ill wear a gum sheild). Thanks for your comments, Jonathan.

Well........ Got the tyres today and changed them over and took out a couple of links in the chain then took it for its first spin :D
Got to say it rides absoloutly sweet and I'm loving the coaster brake! No brake rub, how cool is that. It brakes verry sharply though and took a while to get used to it, if you back pedal 1/2 and inch though, you get a nice gentle slow down any more and it stops dead.
Will take some pictures over the weekend as we are due for some nice weather  :)
