Been working with forums for awhile, Pantera, Model T, Antique Aircraft, Firearms, Photography, and now motorized bicycles. Each forum is a little different. My apologies for side stepping this most important introduction, and attempting to make contact with one of your members for a component I most desperately need for a construction project. My name is Byron Hight, and I reside in San Jose Ca. I've been involved in building/maintaining/restoring light motorcycles/scooters for the last 50 years, including Indian's, Simplex, Cushman, Mustang, Matchless & AJS. I do almost all my own work, but never learned to lace or adjust a bicycle wheel. Building up an unusual machine is as much fun as riding it. I have a Mustang Mod 2 under restoration, with a Cushman 740 (alligator) being modified with a 20hp Honda V twin as time allows. Right now, my latest project is building up a motorized Stingray Chopper, using one of these Chinese 80cc ?? bike engines with a jack shaft. I'm interested in using one of the new Nu Vinci hubs. Been following a thread on this forum about the hub, and was trying to contact this Andrew fellow, when I found out that introductions were in order first. No problem. I'm also deeply involved in building Hot Rods & Model "T" Speedster's, and have several under construction now. I fly, and have maintained Antique Aircraft over the years, with my latest being a 1934 Waco YKC cabin bi-plane. Here, once again, I enjoy doing all my own work. I have a fairly complete machine shop with most equipment necessary for the usual construction. I do most of my painting, although I don't have room for a paint booth. I don't know what else to tell, except to get ahold of this Andrew fellow to aquire a Nu Vinci hub for my latest project....Byron
