Just built my first bike a month ago. Its a pretty standard build. Except for the Seat post and sprocket guard. I have plans for a tank, and I have a headlight in the works, built from a stainless coffee cup. I ride it quite a bit. Longest trip was 20 miles to work and bike.

Does anyone know if I can lighten the gas to oil ratio? I have switched to 20:1 so far.

I have had so much fun my son and I are building another. Have already bought a bike and ordered an engine.

It is a 26" Ocean Pacific. Don't know how good it is we got it at Walmart however we liked the frame. We plan to build a tank in the space under the top bar. My son is a welder. He can do the tank. We also liked the extra long neck, it gives more space for the tank and mods on the front end. It was $109. we figured "what the heck!"
