Found these also. I like them better but out of stock at MBRebel. I sent an email asking when they would be in stock.


Looking at these I am wondering if I could make them.

Forgot to mention my father, who passed back in August, has a very old oxygen acetylene torch. My mother told me to come get it.

so I have really upped my fabrication tools since this thread started. I’m guessing with a flux welder, oxy acetylene torch, angle grinder and table top vice I can get a little more creative.

Danny, the MBrebel fork is the conolmotorsport fork. Lynn will buy a sample to add to her list and sell it. It then becomes "Out of Stock". The price is the give away. Welding on fork braces would get you where you want to go, appearance wise.

Here you go, a classic Schwinn with all the right designs already built in. Vintage Bicycle 1950 Schwinn - bicycles - by owner - bike sale (craigslist.org) Actually this one is too expensive since it is not all original. But a great start for a motorized bicycle.

I did not think of this earlier, but watch the Dallas Craigslist, it has the entire DFW area on it. Lot of classics float across that site on a monthly basis.

I have been searching craigslist for about two or three weeks. Those two have been on there for that long. although they’re really nice vintage bikes that’s a little more than I wanna spend on my first one right now. I do appreciate you pointing those out however.

And they already have the built in drop loop, cut the top bar out the add new top bar, or even to to look more like the old boys frame...........Curt
I’m not really following what you’re saying. Is there a picture of what you’re talking about?

I was thinking about cutting some 3/4” pipe in half and adding those to the top of the bar. That way the bike frame could rest on them, padded of course.

still in manufacturing so I’m taking ideas, LOL
