Hey Guys

I have been lurking for a while. This a great site and I learn more that I could possibly ever remember. I am in the process of building my first MB. It is a 1956 Schwinn Cycle Truck. With the help of this site so far so good. My bike is a bunch of parts I had planned on ebaying. I have a complete 1953 Cycle Truck which will remain pedal power for now. Anyway glad to be here.

Oh my CT isn't finished.

Attached is the finished bike so far ...do we ever finish. I took a couple of short rides but need to work on the drive chain some more. I put the kit tensioner on the peddle chain and tighnened the motor chain. I filed the spocket but it still seems to hang. I am thinking new chain and a spring tensioner
