totally understand, living in swede3n isn´t easy cause bicycling hash´t got any status here and therefore it´s not easy too find the right parts :)
 
My 24" ride, not sure what the frame is, my guess is late 40s, rocking a sulky slick in the back, homemade truss rods, delta light, and CWC skiptooth drivetrain.

Maybe one day....My little old Shelby 24". The truss fork is holding a 26" Big Hank on the front of my Jet Pilot at the moment.
The frame is nice and swoopy and until I get some sort of welding done, she'll remain as a wall flower that I'll keep throwing things at 'til they stick.:39:
 
How about some more info on the motor sitting on the paint cans....:cool2:

Hey CeeBee,
It's a curb find 1949-58 REO 211F 1 1/2 hp I think. It turns freely but is untested and flywheel cover and tank are M.I.A.Pics are as found, but has gotten tidied a bit.
Heres a video of one in action.
Some neighbors were cleaning out Grandads workshop, so after finding the REO I left a note that I'd like to find the missing bits, but no Luck on that one.
The 1970 Briggs came from the same house as a result of the note and is complete and moves freely but is untested.
 
Some 24" that I've built:

Just cleaned this up this Spaceliner and put some aluminum wheels and new tires. Its for J and Little Guy when the come over and want to ride.

Modifications to my Huffy Good Vibrations 24 have improved riding qualities greatly. Layback seat post and BMX-style HB. Swapped out the coaster brake for a freewheel (went from 40/18 to 40/17). Added caliper brakes (figured that was a good idea with the loss of the coaster). Switched from 5-1/2" cranks to 6-1/2" cranks. Now very comfy for riding.
