New Belgium Fat Tire Cruiser

I plan to motorize this bike. I think it will be pretty cool when completed. The motor is on order. I'll keep you posted with pics.

No, this isn't the one from Portland. I bought this one in Seattle.

Electra has a bike just like this that is really cool too. I think its called the indie.

That Electra Indy is pretty cool. I wanted to build a single speed bike with a coaster brake. I really want to keep the chain guard, but it is over-sized and I'm afraid the engine will hit it. The bike doesn't look as good without it. When I get the engine (Hopefully today) I'll test it for fit.

Originally, I was going to used the 2008 or 2009 Schwinn SS Sport. If you haven't seen one-check it out on line. It has the older styling and cool red tires with struts on the forks. I'll keep you posted.
