Just following the rules and introducing myself. My name is Steven Hellwig, I live in Pittsburg, KS. I do not currently have a motored bike but have always been into biking and working on my stuff. There are quite a few motored bikes in my town and even a fellow nearby that seems to collect/tinker with many different bike frames. My current preferred bike is a WCC Jesse James bike with several little things changed. I would like to eventually fit it with a decent motor (an 80CC
) and a jack shaft with 3 or 5 gears on the rear. Before I can start motoring it I need to get it fitting me a little better. Have some "bmx" bars that I want to raise 6" and there is a nice straight tube in the bottom where I can do a 9" stretch on the frame. Then I can quit being a 6'1" guy hunched over on a kids bike and look a little more serious.
Joined because of the serious fabrication I have seen here. And when I get to the motored part all that info is already here. Just called a local welder and found out they WILL do a bike frame. Even better, they would prefer I be there and guide them along. Now if I can just get the money to cover the hourly rate I'm set. I was afraid they would tell me to take off when I said "bike frame". See you guys around.
