Disaster struck last night when something seemed to give way and I lost 1st gear. I gave it an attempt last night to fix but its going to be more involved than I have room / time for untill my workshop is back in action.
Luckily I have the original wheels from my Wayfarer which whilst rusty are in working order, so I rode over to my temporary storage and brought it back on the rack, fitted now and trying a 22T rear sprocket. Test ride was ok, hopefully get a longer test on Sunday and I will be taking it to lidl to stock up on saddles and sunglasses.
