You really have a nice build going on & think the CG motor a good choice for it. The straight bar frames are really beautiful with or without engines. Rick C.

I still around and the project continues! Life got in the way and Spring has come and gone, so here is an sorely needed update...

After stripping the fenders I found some hidden problems.

We made a drive out to Memory Lane Classics to get a new lense for the fenderlite. I picked up some decals and grabbed up a deluxe chain guard. Not bad for a 3 and a half hour one way drive.

Well, I decided for this build to have wheels built. I am using a Strumey Archer 90mm Drum Dyno Hub on the front wheel and need 12 gauge spokes to beef them up. I chose to use Wheel Master steel rims. I had a local bicycle shop build them in Barberton called R&D Bike Shop. I highly recommend them. Don used my supplied parts and built them quickly and professionally. They are ridiculously strong and extremely true! They look like motorcycle wheels; very happy!!

Here is the build today. Front end is almost complete. I have been experimenting with the Dyno Hub, so I can build my battery charging and lighting setup. As for the Fenderlite, I have rebuilt a cheap Harbor Freight LED flashlight for it. I will take some photos of it before I install the Fenderlite.
