The gas mileage isn't the best part to me though so much as the utter mechanical simplicity of the beast-a simple GY-6 (the original Honda air-cooled 4-stroke, 2-valve 1-cylinder engine before Honda pulled the license and made their own) gravity-feed tank with vacuum pump, electric and...

Well, if you guys are including Schwinn Wizzers and Simplex Servi-cycles , I guess I can include my daily driver- Little Wing, a 2013 Zenn-n 50cc scooter. Despite the low-powered engine and the beefier-than-standard frame, she'll do an easy 45MPH at the local racetrack...but due to NC regs I...

Beautiful and can carry more than a Smart car...what's not to love? :113:

Yep, caught me in a mood , yuh did....:D

I'm Forty-nine, and i've never had a lot of money. My Grandparents (God rest them both) were honest-to-God Great Depression babies and taught me to re-use everything and throw nothing away. (this is not a good habit to have now that I live in an RV BTW) :arghh: At any rate, I was always able...

The lines are perfect, the tank interrupts the flow. Having said that, it's your bike...:D

:arghh::arghh::arghh::cry::cry:

OH. MY. GOD. An Art Deco bike with Steampunk accents? :inlove::heart::inlove::heart::inlove:

My White Rabbit from BO10 (since given away to a neighbor's daughter). My Kent Transit folder, converted from a non-working 5-speed to a working single-speed with a chainbreaker, pliers and lots of brushed-on 3-in-1 oil to brake cables and chain...current daily rider.

My only BO bike so far-The White Rabbit-was named for two reasons: 1) Mere days before the end of the BO a local Dealer dumped a small truck-load of bike parts that he had in his dumpster and dared me to build something with it(one of the local kids had showed him an old kids Beach Cruiser...

Not sure I count as a regular (as I have only competed in one build so far) but: 1) I am in a very low-income bracket, and honestly can't afford to tinker the way i'd like. If I need parts it is easier to find cheap rusted frames at the local thrift store-custom anything is out of the question...

Two-year-old HP notebook, on sale for 60% just before the new releases...P4, 3G Ram 500G HD , 17" screen. I gave Windows 8 two weeks to impress me, grabbed some Holy Water and a download of Linux Mint and been happy ever since... :D

Mochet himself would be envious of this build! :cool2:

Well, not AT work... Sadly, my lovely 1993 Ford Festiva died last week-cascade short took out the fusible block, EGR and even the wiring harness...she is dead.At least it was quick... :( I'm currently carpooling to work as i'd have a 1.5 hour commute by bike(in January) followed by a 10 hour...

I'm with Guitarlcarl on this one. A few cream-colored highlights around the head tube and top tube to match the fenders, a wet sanding of same to weather them, maybe a 'wash' of wood stain, coffee or tea...then rust the frame to match. After that, a light scrub with cleanser to make the old and...
