| | Re: Eliminating the driven sprocket So Pablo, will your crank fit the bicycle I have in the photo? The other frame I was going to use has the one piece crank. I actually think this frame will be less work than the one I originally was going to use. I just want to make sure whichever one I use will work with the jackshaft.....................

It looks like that one will work with the kit. A bit rusty, and funky. |

| | Re: Eliminating the driven sprocket Pablo, weren't you supposed to be at your daughter ball game?
I don't know if Ilikeabikea's frame will hold a engine. Those extra tubes might get in the way.
Just for some clarification on the bottom bracket. You need what I think is called "cup and cone" style. Attached is a photo of the type of spindle that your current bike should have. If you have the newer style I am told that it can be retrofitted back to the old style.
