Hi, I will start my project sometime in the future as my moter kit is in the mail. I came by a old schwinn, needs new wheels, tires, paint, fenders and front forks, And to make it what I want to end up with (if possible) some frame modifications. Here are a few questions I have.
1.Where do I find schwinn serial numbers on the frame? (I have found this as of now, it is from 52-69 and later than 1965 starting with K900,000 serial on the lower left frame by rear alex.
2. If I want to remove and add some tubing to the frame what tubing works best?
3. Is it best to tig in new tubes or gas weld?
4 I ordered a 80 cc kit from Boy go fast, can that crank gear be taken off from crank and a v-belt pully be installed? (to go from chain drive to belt)
5. I found on the simpson site a "sheave" for the rear wheel, is this the part I can add to my schwinn rear wheel to convert to belt drive?
6. Any suggestions out here for converting to belt drive or would it be a mistake for one of the 2 stroke kits?
thanks for the help.
