apologies. didn't mean it that way

- that's a very big grey area if you're worried about laws. - also, a normal bike chain is smaller/thinner than the drive side of a 2 or 4stroke. which will be your weakest point in the drive train (other than the bearings already mentioned). - to really optimize a gear set, you'd probably want...

@Karate Chicken Industries ....that's some funny stuff right there.

looking for a name.... with the arched backbone and nose high stance reminds me of a camel. so, around that idea.... - "what day is it?" - hump day - mike, mike, mike - wednesday - carl's camel klunker

absolutely incredible bikes! ... where's my invite? must have "gotten lost in the mail" huh? lol stunning work my friend. i've always liked the open frames (no real seat tube)

do we have a good article on how to adjust the derailleur? this part can be tricky if you're not sure what's what. there are usually adjustment points once you get it in place and cable set (tight).

i got some good stuff for ya. scanning it in now. i have some stuff that was my great-uncle jack's (who was in the seabee's in WWII) here's some more inspiration. a roughly 8" canvas painting a roughly 7" painted wood carving and a pillow cover. i can send you larger scans or make files...

your paint fits that era. EVERYTHING was paint bombed all the same. even though it's a simple job, it's truer to the original than most of the military themed bikes, cars, etc i've seen. if you want to age the stencils, take some fine sandpaper or emory paper & knock some of the white paint...

nice. i've seen a lot of disc gas builds and usually the disc is behind the sprocket (using a much larger disc for the brake). there are some sprockets that are made with an offset to mount both the gear and the disc on the disc mounting flange on the hub. then you use an extended caliper...

yeah, wasn't thinking of the XL wide tires.

that's more than i thought you'd have. you could probably get a plug wire to fit, even if not what came with the kit. relocate brake cable if needed.

here's the frames in clean transparent PNG format.

will be watching this closely. ... is there enough room in the frame for the motor?

really nice!

WOW! looks great. bunch of unique decisions culminated into one frame.

1.75 & 2.125 are interchangeable. (anything wider... not sure, no experience) but back in my BMX days, i ALWAYS preferred 1.75 over 2.125 to me, the fatter tires always felt sloppy, even when properly inflated. but 25+ years later my opinions might have changed.... or my intent changed....

if you're adding a tank.... - add tank - 26" up front - bags off the back now you've got a vintage/new style bagger... lol

don't think it's a photoshop trick. look closely for the small details... front fork, seat clamp (not there), etc... a lot of the parts are simplified, tires look like they're made out of corrugated drain pipe. and it's parked in front of the yellow trailer. really well done for a monster size...

love the frame of the Columbia Newsboy Special. ...not a straight bar, not quite a normal cantilever.
