Classic Look. Nice. Though i would look to add a front brake of some sort. A simple chain jump or brake and you got nuthin. Trust me - ain't fun.

ya i think im gonna do more lookin into the disc setup. it will b the first time i have experienced disc brakes on a bicycle let alone a MB. are there any suggestions as to brand or any other things i should look for when shopping for disc breaks. and should i do both the front and back wheel?

I'm in the market myself. I added a front side pull brake but I'm not satisfied with the stopping power. Disk or drum is the question. Drum being the more expensive but better look for your build.Husky bicycles sell a front wheel with drum brake at a reasonable price after comparing various sites, but it's tough to spend the same amount on a front wheel as I did on the engine. I will eventually, as drums seem to be the best application for what we're both going for - I'm just trying to this as inexpensive as possible for fun and challenge.

Oh and by the way, here's a shot of the build as it seems protocol to introduce the "kids" at some point.
