So I saw an original whizzer sometime earlier this year, decided to build a bike, and stumbled on this forum. I've been lurking up until now, but you guys have been invaluable in this build. Thank you for all the good information and I hope I can help others as you've helped me in the future!
That aside, the build:
Around the beginning of the summer I picked up a Huffy classic beach at a vintage bike show for $35, a schwinn springer repop front end for another $30, a couple seats, a couple handlebars, all a bargain, and was getting excited about the cost-effectiveness of my new project. I had a 48cc HT ready to bolt on, and considered myself off to the races. She got a husky FWL 12g rear wheel, some kenda tires bought purely for aesthetic reasons, but have turned out to be pretty good, and I got the cns carb all dialed in.
