This build is legendary!!!!! I've loved that bike for years!
Thanks for documenting your build here on RRB.
I also love your city. Saint Peterburg was one of our stops on our first RoundTheWorld trips in 2001 when we also took the TransSiberian Railway from Moscow to Beijing.
Welcome to RRB!!!

Moped tire, 16"x4"

Nice. Did you manage to get it onto a bicycle rim, lace the moped rim onto a bicycle hub, or some other solution?

@kingfish254 can answer that for you. He's got experience using motorcycle tires on builds

Well, this guy cost me 5 full days of work, about $ 100 in material and parts costs. But still, I consider it the most dear to me project, because it was my first big independent work. I still love him and miss him. True Rat Rod!
