NICE!
Im thinking on a aluminum plate mini rack mount, 50cc 4 stroke Honda engine on a Giant or Univega dual suspension bike.
Ive looked at all the rack systems and I think theres no need for all that extra weight if its been built strong enough, they can be pared down.
I intend to use the rear sub frames(swing arm) V brake posts as the front of the rack mount and clevis rod ends with stainless steel internally threaded tubes as the rear supports.
Its not going to be a friction drive, but a rear mounted jack shaft type, with a free wheeling crank via Sick Bike parts and my own custom made 415 chain, 5 speed on a 10 speed cassette body hub, with 5 custom made Kings rear gears and with one of my custom made aluminum pipe gas tanks balancing out the opposite side of the rack.
look for it some time this July.
WEIGHT WEIGHT WEIGHT...
It seems I've fought that one all my life, being in the high end of the bicycle business its our mantra...
Cut ounces and the pounds will take care of themselves...
At our shop we call these guys "weight weenies" willing to spend $100s of dollars to loose one pound of weight...
I ADD 25 pounds to my bikes and they all do 45 plus MPH! If they didn't Id tear it apart and find out why.
lol
