Hi Folks,
I have been reading here a little after a bit of an internet search. I was thinking I would like to create something to park at work and use to zip around the town I work in. (Dubbo NSW) I am looking at the 80cc motor (I weigh too much for a little one) and was considering getting the specs for the 35cc motor to carry on me (just in case I have to answer to the constabulary) has anybody ever tested this?
I have bought a k-mart $79 mountain bike and have been riding it normally the last few days (it rides quite well) The only challenge I can see in mounting the motor is the oval shape of the diagonal part of the frame. But I have seen that some people have overcome this with a bolt through the frame and some alluminium plate.
I have an old style 10 speed mens racer and would really like to make that into a retro cruiser with drop bars (like a cafe racer) and some bigger profile tyres (it has no suspension)with a old style tank (rectangular) and a leather sprung seat and mug gaurds (and lots of pin striping) Its a very old malvern start SL that is in perfect condition.
I realise this cuts accross many topics but I guess I am full of questions and keen to see the very retro malvern star and the contemporary mountain bike get done.
