Next on my plan for my 212-engined “comfort bike” project is frame strengthening.
I’ll be using welded-in angle iron and steel plate for the engine mount.
Also a large welded gusset at the head tube.
However, I’m considering bolt-on steel braces at the stays and the dropouts.
Maybe 1/2” steel box tubing.
Has anyone ever done this?
Any drawbacks, besides what they’d look like?
Engine power goes through a shift kit.
There’s no left rear sprocket and chain, so less to be in the way.
