It needed some custom accessories to take it from ho hum to hidee ho. So I made a rear brake cable hanger from a spoke and brake cable stop and started on a small front rack. If the front rack works I may even attempt to make a complementary low rider rack. Then the bike and accessories will get a powdercoat and be ready for the big leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-5210\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fullsizeoutput_1b.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5210\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fullsizeoutput_1b.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fullsizeoutput_1b-300x200.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/rideeatcamp.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fullsizeoutput_1b-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The finished frameset could use a final scrub to remove the surface rust.
