My new and first MB!

It's not running quite right yet, but it is at least running at all. Yesterday was it's first voyage

I was poking around with it in the front yard when the garbage men were on my street collecting. They came over and chatted me up about it. The one who came up first said that he had already been thinking of doing this with one of his mountain bikes

Very nice, your combat ready, for sure, i like the black motor.

Looks good.....it'll run better as it breaks in and you tweak a few things.

Nice work-good attention to detail. Is that the stock kit chain? I am still amazed at how much a heavier duty chain improved the ride on my bike-Gearhead

the Whizzer tank is the only thing that's not kit stock really... I upgraded the nuts and bolts as well as some other odds and ends, but that's the drive chain that came with. The engine is the PK80 and the bike is a Greenline. The engine fit pretty much perfect (after bashing the pedal chain guard into submission)

Very nice Baron. Saw a similar seat on Ebay that I was eyeballin. That thing pretty comfy?

yeah, it's decent. Now that I have it running, I ride upwards of 15 miles at a stretch to get to work. I scrubbed off the brand logo, which is "Velo". It retails for $35-40

I went to eBay and found one for $65 (free shipping, so what when the price is $30 more than average retail). I don't know if that is the one you are looking at, but if it is, you can find it cheaper.

Lynn at Custom Motored Bicycles has them for $35. I don't know what the shipping would be, but you will pay less than $65 total from her:
