Looks very nice, but I'd trim a bit off that layback or switch to a straight post  :daumenhoch:

It's one of the things on the to do list, a stright post, don't really like laid back posts but they're easier to come across.
I'm thinking it needs a nice set of spoked wheels as well, the brakes might actually work then.
Thanks,
Andrew

Know what you mean about the seat posts being hard to get  ;D.

Try a pair of Kool Stop brake pads, not the V-Brake type but these ones...

Always found that KoolStop out perform almost all other brake pads on Skyways and most other wheels come to think of it  :daumenhoch:
