The fix-up project

If I say ebay, and "it seemed like a good idea at the time", then I think you know where this is going.

A BSA Safety Shopper from the 1950s. A step through frame with 24" wheels and rod brakes, which means a now non standard rim shape, it has no gears, and a fixed basket platform at the front which doesn't turn with the front wheel.

This what it looked like in its hayday.

And this is closer to how mine looked when I picked it up.

 Its now in pieces...

So far I've had to buy new rims and new hubs, and I still need to get spokes, brake pads, tubes and tyres, and probably a new chain too. And that's just to get it mobile because I've never yet ridden it.  If its not a complete dog to ride, I'll then decide whether to do anything with the chrome, paint work, and saddle.
One day ...
