Hello all!
I have finally finished my first motorized bicycle build.
The basics: A Micargi Pantera frame. Upgraded wheels/bearings from Husky with 11g spokes, a SA drum brake on the front which was replaced with a springer fork. I have an old Pacer moped tank custom painted by our local tech school kids. I bought a decent leather saddle via ebay. I have a manic mechanic 44t rear sprocket and some LED head and tail lights.
I went with the new 7g kit from gasbike.net which was REALLY DIY. No instructions whatsoever, just the pieces and a few bags of bolts...you guess which lengths go where with which washers, etc. It is running quite well so far. No big issues yet. Simply a ton of fun and a real head-turner. Several times I've been asked "How old is that thing?!" Thoughts? suggestions?
