**Moto-Speed** 98% done with pics 12/22

[yeshoney]

I dubbed this bike "Moto-Speed". '26 Elgin motobike with a pair of Candy red Velocity 700c wheels, Spot front skewer hub and 7 Speed Nexus Coaster out back. 20 tooth cog chiseled down to a 10 tooth skip 1" pitch. Kenda Kwest 562x35 tires (same as 28 or 29er as I just learned). Just need a different set of no turn washers and a repop cross brace bar and I can call this one done!

Re: **'26 Elgin MotoBike Get Wheels and a name**

forget a roadbike - i have to build one of these!

how did you get the skiptooth sprocket on that shimano?

 

[yeshoney]

I just have to put the Shimano No Turn washers on, adjust the chain, button it up and away we go!

I ran it thru the gears and it is a ripper! I added the Red WALD pedals to offset the black and I will still need to locate a 28" drop stand with ears and a hook for the fender, but all in all it is the way it will look.

Enjoy the pics!

I have to agree it's the best match for the bike so far.

Another great build! Those wheels look great. I bet they will make the bike fly faster than any motobike before! :mrgreen:
