Well I started out yesterday on the Woodie. Then jumped on the trike.

I wanted to get the rear disc brakes mounted and ready for cables. After 4.5 hrs I had them like I wanted. They will stop it pretty good. Ony problem is the way I had it setup was with out a coaster cog so even if I was braking the pedals where still turning. So I had to backup and punt. Installing the coaster cog in between the pedals and rear axle proved to be a job! 5hrs and it was done! Now it has a coaster cog and foot brakes as well. It's getting close to being ridable. I'll go get brake cables today for it and see how that goes.
