This is my little shop, very condensed. The bike bench has turned out to be the perfect way to build a bike, make from 3/4 OSB plywood.

The mess can and has gotten seriously bad in a small area like this. You just have to stop sometimes and clean and organize, organization is the key to survival in a small shop. Out in the two car part of the garage I need to build some roll around stuff so I can pull the car out and spread out and then roll it up when done working.

How do I find that thread "How comfortable is your shop", I used search and couldn't find it, probably don't know how to use search correctly.

Good news is that my wife only made a pleasant sounding hmmph sound when I mentioned I could get the 49cc pocket bike motor for only $75 on ebay.

Got a little stuff done today, I have the #35 84 tooth crank drive sprocket mounted, on the inside of the crank sprockets. Sorry no pictures today :-/ I want to keep the crank RPM around 60-120 so I can peddle with the motor if I want to. I'll change the crank sprockets or the rear cassette to get the bike speed dialed in.

I ordered the 47-49cc pocket bike engine for $72 delivered, woohoo! I just dont like the gears and clutch of the China Girl, rather have a centrifugal clutch and no gears to fail.

I just had my first ride, wow, MB are way fun. I was surprised how much power the 49cc cag had. Of course it had no spark when I tried to fire it at first, but I happened to have another new cag and swapped coils. What is it with the Chinese and coils? Had to make a bigger starter pull handle, lot of compression.

I am definitely in love now with mb's, 3 builds ahead of me, gonna enjoy the **** out of it.
