This bike started out from humble beginnings. An early '70s Murray and about the same vintage Western Flyer. Full strip and rebuild with a few added touches just to make things interesting. I had newsboy bikes as a kid (to actually deliver newspapers) but they were police auction bikes and nothing like the deluxe ones of the day. Actually I wish I still had my old Rollfast. What a tough beast.
The powerplant is a Subaru 4 stroke EHO35 driving a pocket bike X2 CVT
Anyway, A small list of features added:
*Springer front fork
*Ducktail full fenders
*Deluxe cruiser seat
*Grubee freewheel rear hub w/ 11ga. spokes and band brake
*Sturmey/Archer drum brake front hub w/12 ga. spokes
*7ah 12V battery for lighting/horn system
*12V-6W bottle generator to recharge said battery
*Slightly overboard lighting system w/turn signals, volt/amp gauges coming soon
(I commute in the dark)
OK, on with the show
