...starting a new Project!

With all the lessons learned from the two racers I built, which both ended up in being just display-bikes, this new project will have a functionable engine!!

It will be a cyclone...

For my other bikes I used parts of an east-german Simson engine, and I decided to take this engine again.
It has an unique design and looks antique somehow, although it is from the seventies.

A fake second cylinder will be added, and I am thinking of having the second cylinder in function too, and I will added something on top of the original engine with valves and stuff, and get the valves working...

Ambitious project, I know, but I will take may time...

Very cool, I'll be watching this for sure. Are you going to use motorcycle tires or bicycle tires?

...not sure yet, this engine will have an output of about 2.5 hp, I think bicycle tires will do the 25-30 mph cause I want to stay with 28" wheels...

If you get that engine to work will you make me one too? LOL!
That should be a very cool build! will you be using horizontal rear drop outs this time for the rear wheels? and what gauge for the wheels spokes?
