I picked this one up on ebay for $65

its doesnt come with the shifter cable or pin that goes into the hub. but those were less than $20 on amazon.
I dont have the cable and the shifter hooked up but 1st rides nice. I will need a small offset wheel sprocket cause the chain is slightly rubbing the tire.
Got to work on adding a 3 speed. Instead of re lacing the wheel or changing wheelsets I decided to go with a 3 speed made for a trike. It has 2 cogs. My welds suck but I kinda just tacked it all together to see how i like it and how it all lines up.
On the contrary, it's very comfortable. I left it a little loose while I sat on it to get the right angle. I definitely sit more on the back of the seat on my butt then in the middle of it on my crotch. I rode it like that for 2 hours.
Added some gussets between the seat and chain stays. Definitely help. I took for a shakedown ride and am pretty happy with the progress. I'm looking forward for the 3 speed hub to get here though. I run out of gear really fast with that tiny crank sprocket.
Yes you did but thats in my garage the bike is currently at my job. I get to tweak and weld on it in my spare time. Plus I get to ride it around. I am very fortunate to have multiple places to work on it.
not very. They have a ton of flex. I need add some gussets but I am also waiting for a 3 speed hub for a trike to put in the middle somewhere the bracketry for that should stiffen it up some also. I hope. lol
I have not posted in a while cause this was on the back burner for a little bit. Well last week i kinda threw it together.Today I took it for a spin around my work lot and put it on my car to put air in the tires. Then i took a picture.
