I'd like to see that, Richard; I'm workin' on a homebilt belt drive myself. How
do I find it?
The thing is, I don't have nor can I afford a lathe, bandsaw, shaper, etc. I'm
pretty much limited to what I can find in a hardware or thrift store.(That and
good garage sale junk.)
Right now, the bike I'm building on is a 3 spd. ladies Huffy never ridden outa
a dry storage that I got for $15. It's late 70s back when bikes were still made
in the USA from American steel.
I've taken an old channel friction drive, turned it around 180 degrees, and
stuck a pulley out the side.( see pic)
It's progressed considerable since I pictured this mockup.
The thing I like most about this guy's build is the muffler setup. It's genius!
Here I've spent all this time studying stealth type reciprocating disc mufflers,
and he has boiled the whole technology down to a drink bottle hanging on springs.
As for the rest of his build, it's far too complex for my liking. I'm strictly a "keep
it simple,stupid." kinda guy.
