I stumbled onto these motorbikes via a friend and have become totally obsessed with them. They remind me of an old Indian motorcycle I used to ride as a kid. Needless to say I have been reading about them non stop for days trying to wrap my head around what i want to get. I am mechanically inclined and have just about as much fun tinkering on things as I do using them.
First off, I need a bike. I am considering the 26" Micargi Rover GX or the Felt Red Baron. Do you as experienced users of these recommend one over the other? I will most likely sand it down and have the frame powder coated so color is not really an issue.
I am fuzzy on gearing. Do I want a single speed or multi speed? I always had trouble with multi speed bicycles a long time ago. I need to do some more reading on this subject. It's also been a looong time since i disassembled a bicycle and forget how the rear hubs work and function. Can you take a Rover 7 speed speed and turn it into a single speed bike??
