Scotto,
your bike still kick ass to look at
even at this wee hour... Is this your most current setup for it? It's a tight fit even without the torque converter. Come to think of it, how does the clutch compare to the torque converter?
Anyhow,
the clairmount is a chinese made frame, and i'm thinking micargi and firmstrong are also chinese made??? So going from a schwinn clairmount to a micargi is a moot point. But if it doesn't fit than a bigger frame like a firmstrong bruiser/chief, or the Felt. In all those frames, the only steel frame that's made here is the felt, and of course a lot of members here build their own frame too.
I would love to have the skills to build my own frame, unfortunately, would have to source a frame that would work with the 212.
The motor isn't here yet for me to test fit on my frame, so I've been playing by ear and see how it goes.
