It be great to try and replicate elements of this cycle.It would be interesting and more authentic to add the belt drive method to it but I don't have the skills and resources to build one.The engines to his cycles look wonderful too and seem to be less noisy than some 2-strokes.Anyway this is what I am looking for in a motorized bicycle in style.



I will work with what I can deal make do with.

This is part of today's report in the DIY section. It's definitely heading towards early 1930s European.

Wonderful examples.The Dutch bicycle will probably be ordered soon.My only issue now is that it is a 28''.Mr.B. in the previous page stated that many motorcycles from the period used that size.Though like he said 26'' tires are more common with today's builders with a variety of tire colors and variants.I would love to implement the cycle to use creme or white tires though there doesn't appear to be any for 28''.I will have to see if this bicycle will take 26'' cruiser rims/tires.
