Okay, I have a couple new ideas for a new build. Everything I want is going take a lot of effort but I want this bike to be completely custom. I sold my last motorized bicycle because someone needed it for transportation and I didn't like the bike the motor was on anyways. I was thinking of getting a retro style bike, wandering if the goodwill would have an old one that looks like a Schwinn Phantom, or possibly one of the newer Schwinn classic cruiser sold on their site. The only thing is, I can't think of any retro cruiser bike that has a derailleur, and that is the biggest thing. I want to get the shifter kit from SBP for my next build, and I am worried I can't put these two things together. I have considered the internal hub things, but I am used to derailleurs and they seem better to me. If anyone has any ideas tell me. I want to modify the seat into a banana seat and possibly make it a two seater! I figure the gears will help ease the strain off the engine.
