the noise level is not to bad. its the stock exhaust. i want to put on something special but i don't want it to noisy and grab attention from the cops. i think i could rack up a few tickets on this thing.
so update. i have a feeling i will never be done with this bike. i installed a fire...
just got it up and running agin. more to come soon. still have a lot of little things to work out but with the new setup it we are running a top speed of 32MPH
paid 35 bucks for the frame and a pile of parts that came off of it.. the guy before me was going to restore it but never did… i loved the patina on it so i just left it like it was and slapped on some tires i had laying around and put a new seat on it to make things more comfortable.. can't...
finally got it into a rolling chassie agin.. so i have decided to beef everything up.. using pillow block bearings and a rear moped hub for the new set up after blowing rear SA 3 speed. also went with a new pair of handle bars that i think look a lot better[/URL
lets get something straight. i did not copy you haha. because if i had copied you i would have done it the way you did. i didn't know people had the same idea as me and i chopped the whole back half of my bike off instead of just the bottom and bending it out.. i was working with what i had...
hey everyone.. came across this bike and was wondering what you guys thought.. love the patina on it. its all locked up.. looks like nothing works but I'm just digging the style of it thanks for looking[/URL[/URL[/URL
what benefits do you get out of having a belt instead of chain off of the clutch? nice bike. I'm running a similar bike and setup. but with a chain. I'm going to move to a moped hub.. sturmy archer 3 speed didn't like the motor haha
I would say not so good this second. The thing is a rock going down the road. Smooth straight. Fast. I love it. But I don't think the sturmey 3 speed Hub was built to last doing the speed and riding it hard like I have. It's alright tho. I have an eye on a moped hub I'm going to stuff in...
i
3.5 HP
yes.. the way you understand it is true.. the crank is just like any other bicycle but the sprocket the crank runs to is the the freewheel that is all link into my jackshaft. the rear hub is a 3 speed sturmey archer freewheel. i can pedal this bike but I'm having a hard time...
