Cool. Thanx, @Pondo I didn't have anything to go by so I found a couple of pics where the 26" wheel and fork were a good profile relative to the viewing angle and took a measurement off the printed page. Then extracted that measurement to determine the distance from the hub to the pivot point - hence around 15" to 16". That method isn't perfect but it gets me close..........was this TMI?? 
Oh BTW, the fork in your pic has the 2 main blades whereas I have seen some with 2 main blades and 2 "minor" blades. Is that significant?
TMI? Not at all. Excellent deduction my dear Watson. Well played.Cool.

I think the difference is that my fork is from a modern cheapo Schwinn, the 2 blade version is probably from when they were still a US company and better quality.
I might almost be ready to pull something in. Been really hectic around here. Between graduation, a free golf cart, epileptic seizures, kidney stones, moving my daughter across the 4 states, 80th Bday for my dad and driving over 2200 miles in the last 8 days I'm pretty wore out.
My Creative juices are non-existant at this point. I have two ready for something. Just not sure what yet. It is my 10 year buildoff anniversary,my first one was BONINE....
I can Customize this:
Or this:
Got them both for $$free.99 along the way back from Mantua. Was stranded in Beaver on Monday for 5 hours.

Trike!!
Wow, that is an eventful year so far man! Jump in and celebrate 10 years of build offs though!! Of those two, I think the trike offers more options to do you magic and have fun!
Or blend them together and make a motorized trike.
"Or blend them together and make a motorized trike."
I'll second that!
I'll second that!
Yes the last 40 days have been quite eventful. Good, bad and in between.
I've given a little thought into combining the two. That 4-stroke, although much quieter than the 2-strokes is also 3" wider than the 2 strokes.
I will start with the trike as soon as I come up with a plan. Budget is tight. I will change classes and Add the engine after, if there is time.
Primary Goal will be to complete
Glad to see the forum back up. Just to be clear, I haven't posted for two days, so it wasn't me overloading the servers with photo uploads. 
If you think you may not finish let @ingola ,@OddJob ,@Captain Awesome,@The Renaissance Man,@Pondo,@SwissGuy know we can move it to regular builds before it gets tucked away.
This is the best "plain speak" tutorial I've ever seen that tells us what to do
based on the rules. Which aren't that difficult to follow, but my mind has
been lost lately and OJ's voice is most calming. Thank you for the moment
of zen OddJob.
