Hi,
Ok, so I've had this bike a while and never done a build diary, but now but am now inspired and determined to finish it. It's a bulk standard MTB jump style frame, as the back end is very low I thought it lent itself to a pre-war board track bobber/autocycle. The main idea of the bike is that I spend nothing on it, if it breaks mend it, if I need something for it, I'll make it somehow.
I'd love to stick an engine on it, an old villiers 98cc but alas I'm in the uk and such things are not allowed without tons of certificates and paperwork. Maybe an electric motor??
Spot the cantilever brake.
Toyed around with the idea of a gas tank yesterday, not convinced it works, possibly with some copper piping and a couple of valves, might ditch it and build an Indian style one. Plus it still looks like a 2L coke bottle.
