Heres a cranbrook I pulled out of trash with tires rotting off, so i was needing a bike for my 1st 2 stroke build. I have all these spares parts left over from my 4 stroke build, soo I figured I would use them, will see what I end up with at the end of this project. Since it's made from spare parts will call it the Sparesbrook!

Lol, my mom would say something along the lines of that to me as well. Bike still had walmart bar code on it when I found in trash, tires soo weather checked they wouldn't hold air & I imagine that's the reason it was tossed.

Is that a coaster break hub? I see that you added caliper brakes front and rear (nice). Got ideas for the front mount?

Yes that's a coaster brake, I was planning on gutting it, i think?
This is a good choice for front motor mount you may want to consider...DAMIEN
