Default Re: Deacon's bike build

LET ME SAY HERE IF YOU THINK THIS IS A WASTE OF YOUR SPACE AND THE FORUMS TIME PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DELETE IT. I WON'T MIND AT ALL.



So I went to the thrift store. There were about five 3 speed bikes. I would probably give one a try if it weren't for the skinny wheels. They had an old JC HIggins 3 speed that had the generator light kit and luggage rack on it. Very cool bike actually. If I just wanted to restore a classic i would have bought it but I'm more into destruction than restoration. I wonder how those skinny wheels would do with a motor sprocket on them?

They also had one mountain bike with two sprockets on the front crank and a bunch of sprockets on the rear. I could convert it to a single speed. Use one gear lever for the clutch and one for the throttle and not have to change anything else.



I have a spare 26" crank set for a cruiser and I think I could make it work up front. I wonder if I could use the sprocket from cruiser rear wheel I have on the mtb rear wheel if I take all the sprockets off it. I wonder if it would fit.

Anyway I didn't buy anything I'm still looking.
