I started to scuttle a 20" Schwinn with a 1-1/2 hp Briggs & Stratton model N for the Stingray front fork . I was going to put it on my 3-speed Monark but the stem and struts were too short, so back it goes. In the process of ransacking I removed the handlebar basket that held a Briggs square tank. A new demension of UGLY. In short, it looks kinda cute and with the BMX brick-shaped saddle that resembles an old Bates scrambles saddle, I can even fold enough to ride it with my bad knee. If I can find a cheap HT tank, it would be a real sweety that would be to scale with a Wheezer tank on a 26. I can mill grooves in a piece of aluminum to straddle the fork legs with a clamping piece behind and mount a caliper brake and fender tab (remember, 20' wheel,26" fork) I also discovered a set of Wald 20" chrome new fenders I had. It has an idler pulley clutch at present, but I found I had a centrifugal clutch I could use.. Since there is no provision for tensioning the front belt, I might just leave the idler to handle the job. A bit of ally grid plate to dress up the
1" square tubing foot and motor frame and I think it will join my fleet.
