Agree on ice fishing

I am building another bicycle for the 2024 Lake Pepin 3 Speed Tour. It's going to be a step thru frame, aka girls bike, this year as I'm pushing seventy and throwing a leg over can be a bit dicey for an old fart. I also slightly tore a hip ligament playing soccer with my grandson that isn't helping.
So this is the frame. It's a Danish built Everton from the late 80s, early 90s. The rear wheel is from the donor bike

The donor bike is a Finnish built Tunturi.

It's a freaking weird bike, but it had a nice set of 700c aluminum wheels and a Sachs 3 speed coaster brake hub. It was also free.
So far, the only bit of creativity needed on my part was removing the drive side bottom bracket cup from the Everton that has been in place for over thirty years AND a hamfist worked on it first. It took an old Suzuki transmission gear and a 3/8" bolt to hold my wrench on the cup and a loud grunt. Unfortunately, it broke loose easier than expected and I was on my ass on the garage floor.

The joys of old bicycles.
I got my seat back after nearly 3 months and 2 upholstery shops later.
Now my bike rebuild is finally (almost) complete.
