For reference this newest custom customer build is based on my Dream Machine customer build.

Except I have full 'creative control' of how I want it ;-}
First off it won't be black, I am sick of black and 'stealth', it's going to be some sort of Red/Black, but I get ahead of myself.
For those that are unaware of the parts the link above will give you some insight.
The newest real Skyhawk gas tank frames I helped design is the GT2A-150 that will take 26" 3" wide tires and has a rear disc brake mount.
The 4-stroke engines are the elusive HS 144F-1G 53cc 4-stroke, the 142F's 49cc big brother.
The transfer case is a modified Skyhawk 4G that has a belt drive reduction of 5:1 using a 100T freewheel output, which I replace with longer output shaft to make it a KCK 10G Long Shaft for direct right side output for a right side geared drive.
This old version base was steel that clamped to the frame.
The newest version is a thick flat aluminum plate welded right to the frame.
Most of the other parts like the 26x3"wheels, fenders, seat, disc brakes, and handlebars are from a Fito Modena.
The front forks however will be disc brake ready Suncore shocks, and the rear 7-speed hub replaced with a SA disc ready internal 3-speed.
This build may very well become my new crown jewel build so I thought I would share as it comes along.
Wish me luck ;-}
