Some parts
I bought a VO Porteur chaincase, and some Honjo 45mm hammered fenders from Velo Orange.
I'm not sure if the chaincase ever became part of this bike, but I do remember at least trying to mount it.
The fenders got painted brown and have been part of all the builds.
Bought bike bits
It looks like I started this build with a Velocity Deep V fixed gear wheelset in brown.
I bought the Pake C'mute frame (56cm), Civia Hyland Steel Fork (1-1/8" threadless, post disc mount), and a front disc hub.
It looks like I rebuilt the front wheel with the disc hub.
I guess from the beginning I intended this to support fixed and multi-gear configurations because I put downtube shifters on before I had other geared parts.
The FSA Vero crankset got an Origin8 chainring for fixed gear mode.
I put moustache bars initially, but I got hold of a NOS pair of Tektro 301 brake levers to use with wide GT bullhorn bars.
Rack and a bell
I got a 'Geebul' H319 Cargo Rack, and a bell (received free for review).
The rack is a flat pack style so the legs bolt onto a top platform. It claims up to 55 lbs load. I sat on it briefly (150 lbs) and it seemed quite sturdy.
I didn't care for the telescoping support arms, and I had my preferred style in the parts bin so I used them instead.
I mounted a B+M Toplight Line Plus.
The bell was sold by 'YBLNTEK', but has an 'R' logo I don't recognize. It has a good tone. The plastic mount kind of sucks.
Painting fenders and Bagman support
I decided to ditch the brown fender paint. Used a wire wheel to remove it from the outside surface and fender stays. I just sanded the inside paint to give it a fresh surface.
For the paint I had some flat black oil-based protective enamel. I wiped it all down with acetone, and primed it with a sandable automotive primer I was reviewing.
After looking at the flat black primer, I decided flat black would collect grime inside the fender so I got out some old glossy enamel to put there. That old paint had an IBM number.
First outer coat on fenders
First coat on the fenders and stays. Forgot to paint the Bagman support, but I'll get it during the second coat.
