Front Suspension
and Steering Handle

| Once all parts were
made, it was time for assembly. |
|

I started with the brake as
shown.
The part at the top was glued to the right arm, and left arm was fixed in-between with a brass rod. I also used brass rod to fix the brake
pad holders.
Each part was left unglued until final position was determined. |

Here is a left crank and pedal
assembly.

Another pedal was attached to the right crank on the spider
arm. The outer and inner sprockets were glued after this photo was
taken. |

The handle bar is composed of center piece, right and left arm,
two brake handles and two gear handles. All
connections were reinforced with a small brass rod.

The front brake assembly is shown. I was trying to determine the final position of the brake,
so the brake pads
were still not attached.

The handle was attached to the top
of the Y shaped steering arm. |

 |
The front of the bicycle was
almost finished. |
11-7
 |
I added the brake wire to the
brake as shown. I added an inverted U shape metal rod to the
brake. Then, I made the wire connector with a 0.3 mm plastic
pipe. Then, I installed the wire to the brake assembly. |
