Damn impressive! I always loved the look of the rectangle look of the old Harley gas tanks.
I was going to write to ask you if you knew the technical name of those type of tanks or where you could buy relicas. Then I saw you built your own, even more impressive
Are those stock bicycle tires or did you beef them up?
hey what was the pully under the engine that was connected to the pedals for it looked like a drive unit or something I"am really curious please hit me back crzymn@hotmail.com by the way great project and I"am starting my own thanks again for the step by step happy holidays !
@thomas46r U know, I am actually giving a lot of thought to fitting a real motorcycle engine into this one. A single...maybe in the 250cc range. I'm looking...not actively, but I am looking...
Guy? isnt it sort of stupid to bend the hoop for the engine, and weld the thin in to the frame, and then not put the engine in it, istead you mounted it above, the cradle. Kind of a waist! hell with the engine hoop in the frame? bye a lawn mower engin or an old briggs& Stratton WPB engine and put it in the cradle.
@FireDropTechnologies Clearly you don't get it. And speaking of stupid, isnt has an apostrophe. I don't know what a "thin in" is. "istead" is spelled instead. There should be no comma between "above" and "the" in the following: "above, the cradle." A "waist" is something you put a belt around. I have no clue what "hell with the engine hoop in the frame" means. "bye" should be buy. "engin" ends with an e.
@F650GSNB1629 Funny how everyone wants to talk $h!t but they haven't posted any of their own builds. Nice work. I am looking for a new project and have been thinking about the 20s motorcycle look. Wit the resurgence of the crusier style bicycles I thing that may be my next one.
Looks great! I really need a welder and a tubing bender.. I've been itching to do one of these for a long time. Might I ask where you bought the wheels?. I like the idea of internal drums to maintain the retro look. Looks like only the front has a brake though? Isn't that a bit risky?
lots of thanks ... i think i will build my own bike and i didnt now what type of metal use for modify the frame.. Ok thanks.. but, do you think that steel is easier to curve and modify this form??? bye And thanks
@toampalma Black gas pipe from Home Depot. If I would have known better, I would have used steel tubing from the local metal store--it's easier to work with than the gas pipe...and it's lighter!
@AshishJeep Thanks for the kind words. The motor is one of the little Chinese two strokes available from lots of different places--"SkyHawk GT5 66cc/80cc" The big ticket items were the motor...$150 (I got it on sale). The fork $100. I got a Sturmey Archer hub with a brake $50ish, then I had high-strength wheels build $200...then the retro tires $60...and the seat and grips...$200. The rest was little things...--$8 here, $5 there... $9 for this... $13 for that--it becomes real money.

I still dont understand that is the purpose of fan cluch in this project? When it becomes hot it will stop pedals. It makes no sense.

Exuse my dislexic ass.
The message was clear to any ass that has ever studied the real ones.
I used to build clones like your for fun and proffit.
It wasment to help not to hurt, and it would put the chian straight line to the rear cog.
