Albitre: Model One.

I welcome creations like this, the Captain American Chopper and others. While they no longer have pedals they started out as bikes. I believe the owner/creators of these bikes are our kindred spirit and therefore should be welcomed. Not berated! If these type of bikes are not welcomed here, where would they go? I'm almost sure the rice rocket and Harley crowd wouldn't accept them.

Outstanding job, Chip!!!

O one more thing I notice its only members that are not suportive not mods.

It amazes me that a person can take just a box of parts and a frame and turn out ART... Something absolutely breathtaking and some users here worry about no pedals...

Check your pm dude.

I started sketching this thing out before I even knew there was a motored bike community. Found this site and others while doing some research and some on here, (old dude and Simpson) have helped me out with parts I was looking for. Since I took a few helpful tips from here, I decided to post photos so others may do the same. If anyone here has questions about it or gets any ideas to help improve their rides, all the better. Its actually been very well received at the five or six motorcycle shows I've taken it to so far, but I built it for me to enjoy, not so much spectators.

Motoschwinn, thanks!

This is exactly where you should be, very nice build. Its sad that the first thing that some of these hacks notice is that you don't have pedals and not the amazing job you did building it. Looks like a bicycle frame to me. Well done

What does this mean? Looking back on the thread I only see members that are supportive. I'm thinking this was a typo.

Chip, we are glad you joined and posted here. Your bike is a great example of what can be done with some gathered up parts and materials. We have quite a few people on here that are very knowledgeable and share that knowledge with us. You mentioned a few that helped you.

Keep it up. I cant wait to see the next bike you build.

Beautiful bike.

Keep up the great work.

The only people that were unsupported are members. No moderators were against this type of build, actually they haven't said anything. It looks now like an overwhelming number of members do support these type of bikes.
