1910-ish 2 stroke build

Cremorne · May 4, 2015

I hope you guys like my latest build. This is a new stroker two stroke engine ported, polished, and all that by DAX here in Denver. I'll upload better photos. I wanted to complete the exhaust. Sturmey Archer 5 speed hub. More to come.

I'm still in mock up mode. Still not sure what colors to go with the black wheels and engine. I'm leaning toward Indian red. The bars will be like the old bikes. High rise and long pullback. I'm not going for the racer look here. I'm hoping to reach some serious speeds with the 5 speed rear hub none the less..

How wide is your frame at the rear drop outs? Looks WIDE

Outstanding start! Frame looks fantastic engine & jackshaft look at home filling the loop space nicely. The forks are right for the "period" look. I look forward to future posts. Rick C.

I measured 5.250 opening between the bars. The frame is a Pinto boy. I took off the rear engine mount and the side covers for now. I may cut them and put them back on the bottom. All my bikes up to this point have been direct drive 2 strokes. I am determined this next build will be a multi-speed, rear exhaust, hub driven, front and rear braking bike. I think I'm about there.

Thanks for your interest. I'm far from a newbie, but I was doubtful if there would be interest in my build. Thanks!

With the engine so low in the frame, the chain threatened to hit the clutch cover. It wasn't hitting, but I like some safety zone. You guys might get a kick out of how I modified the clutch cover.
