This is probably the last entry of this thread since the bike is more or less ready for an engine.
I started with a lightweight 3speed bike. I removed the front brake and both wheels. I had to go with coaster rear wheel and wider front wheel for stability. I replaced the chain ring with a smaller one to make it easier to start going uphill. I added a coaster brake rear wheel. I repacked the crank bearing and I had previous repacked the front wheel.
I decided to make it a little more colorful so I repainted the frame. Only one coat so far it will need more. So it is not ready for an engine. I have one bought on ebay and when it arrives I will have to make it work then somehow attach it to the bike. It is a weed wacker engine and will have to be friction since the bike frame is all wrong for a china girl engine.
I will see if I can get one of the mods to move this to the bike contest section now.
Before image.

It has been a wet miserable day and the bike matches the weather lol...
