I ride them both alot!
Room for one more bike?
hey monster, figured i'd reply to your pm here.
lucky 13, non motorized.
this is the bike pictured in the new gallery (i just had to get that it, i'm so excited bout that.-thanks)
it is indeed a coaster front brake. while i can't take credit for the idea,(saw it here on rrb) i believe it was the first chain actived suicide brake.
i carved the shift knob from a piece of gaboon eboney, and used some steel/brass/alum/ tubing to make the inlay.
the lever is actually 1/2 of a cast iron gate pull.
a simple return spring makes it all possible.
its all documented in my build threads.
destiny turned lucky 13

here is my murray motobike. it is a murray frame, shelby fork, whizzer tank and rear pulley. it is running an old briggs wmb motor that was used back in the day to run washing machines. this is the first motorbike i built and it is my favorite to ride, gets looks everytime! this one will go to the grave with me, just hopefully not when i am riding it!!!LOL! :lol:
does this guy count as a boardtrack? the first pic is how it stands today. painted a few parts gloss black and changed the pedals.

yeah I found out with help from some cool people from here and the website pgbikes, which I've been eyeing for a while, that they do ship to the Usa! I've got big plans in the coming months.
