Re: my ultimate project I think I just sold my china bike. I really do not want to go through all that again. It is way easier just to plop a weed whacker on top of a wheel and ride. Actually I agree about the inframe engine in the chopper. The look is one reason I have not done it. I see those choppers on craigs list under a hundred bucks all the time. If I was going to build just one bike to run around with I think I would use the chopper.
I am seriously considering going back to the 20" rear wheel on all my bikes. The only real problem is i would have to change the crank set in the mtb and I really don't want to do that.
I have found out one more things. The old 3speed girlie bike,now my chainsaw bike, is about six inches shorter than the mtb and I like that. It makes it much easier to move around in a tight space. Doesn't sound like much of an issue but it gets to be a drag maneuvering them around after a while.
I'm hoping the grand daughter's bike is smaller as well. I still have dreams of a 20" WW bike but that will have to wait. What we really need is some kind of canvas storage bag to drop on the other side of the wheel. Across from the WW engine to kind of make it look like one of the old cop bikes. |
