And so it begins.
So far all I have is the bicycle, just delivered yesterday. $149.99 shipped. It's a Northwood Ridgedale Beach Cruiser. All alloy. The total weight is 30 lbs. It feels very light. I'm hoping not too light to handle the vibration.
I plan on using a black 2010 Grubee 48cc motor with a Pirate Cycle sprocket adapter and 40 tooth sprocket. I don't really care for the look of the stock gas tank that comes with the kit so I'm going to buy one of those racks that mounts to the seat post and probably use bottles for fuel tanks.
I haven't ordered the motor yet because the boss has her eye on me. She thinks I have a $600 a month crackBay habbit lol. I have to wait for the right moment to hit the buy button when she's not looking.
As far as the style that I'm looking for, I want to try to keep my bike looking like a bicycle. I'm going to try as much as possible to keep it from looking like a little motorcycle. I already have 3 motorcycles, and I don't need another one.
You may get a little frustrated with me on this build because I like to take my time and pay a lot of attention to detail. I expect about a month build time. I'm sure this is going fun fun fun.
