tigmaster-
So glad to see you back on board. I have been watching your build keenly and forming ideas for my first build called "Cheap B@st@rd". Looking forward to your future progress.

Hello Everybody!...I'm back!...Lots to tell,I checked the local bike shop and they had My quick Brick I had ordered over a mounth ago!...Swung by the Kart shop and picked up some high zoot chain...10 ft.@$6.00/ft.!...But its lightyears ahead of the stuff I had!...Its called "Spacechain",#35 pitch...And I also bought another kart front wheel hub for another build I'm gathering parts for....I'm real mad that harbor freight stopped selling the 99...It was the best deal going for mad tinkerers to power bikes with...should of bought a pallet of 'em!....If their going to make a 79 cc now,Is that what I'll get when I return My broken 99 cc using My two year replacement I paid for?...we'll see!....Now,where did I leave My chain breaker?....Tigmaster....

Hi Folks!...I been fiddling with a few things,other than the bikes...though I'd post some pics of the new chain,kart hub and roller sprocket for the tentioner...look at the differences in the chains...Money well spent!....The pic of My temp tank for testing,still looking for parts for the Indian tank petcock....I have been thinking of a better hub buildup if any one is interested...A twin disc front hub,cart.bearings,spoke holes for 12.ga.or bigger,set up like this...disc br. on the left,sprocket made for mounting to a disc br. hub on the right and a shift kit front sprocket with free wheel for ped. when needed...The no adapter hub!...Good idea?.Pictures are coming,have to resize them......Tigmaster....

Hello Everyone!,Well I've been slackin' on My hobbies....My HP laptop with the Vista os gave out,with all of My pics and links ect. The hard drive I'm guessing....(Dear Santa,I would love a new computer for Christmas!)...So I'm using an old Dell latitude D600 that I bought at a computer sale a few years ago,got less than a $100 into it...Its windows XP system is slow but it works!....As it goes right now the PREDATOR/SCHWINN build is on hold till spring....Still looking for a duel disc front hub (cycles US is out of stock)to use on the rear with a disc on the left,a sprocket on the right,with the power going through a shift kit setup...So a free wheel front sprocket is on the list too!...I May be starting a new job after the new year so I'll be on and off around here... Ride safe Gang!(p)....Tigmaster....

Nice to hear from you again!
Hopefully you'll get your computer.
I did not know that XP is considered slow. The computer I am using to type this out right now I built myself 13 years ago and it is running Windows XP, through a 1.81ghz AMD Sempron 3000+ processor
It cost me about $250 total.

Good luck with your hub dilemma, have you looked at ebay or amazon?
If you get the job, I hope that it is better than you expected!

Thank you for the update, tigmaster!
I've been wondering where you went. Good luck with the HD transplant and your hub hunting.
I can't blame you for hanging up the bike for a little while, I hate the cold too. That's one of the reasons why I still live in this damm state.

Tigmaster-
An idea while you are holed up for the winter. If you go to google, select Gmail at the top of the screen, and create an account, it will give you access to post pictures online for free.

After you create your account and login, just go back to google.com and then select "more" at the top of the screen, then go down to photos.

I use this type of free online storage for my build photos, it's fairly simple and makes it easy to link photos in an online forum like this.

Hey Gang!...I back!...After over a year of silence I have a new computer!....The old Dell served Me well but the powers to be at Microsoft wont be supporting XP after April, I bit the bullet and bought a new H/P touchsmart laptop with windows 8.1, 500 G hard drive, 8 G ram, touchscreen, and multi dvd-r/w drive....The bikes have been on the back burner and after this cold long winter I need some spring time riding to clear the cobwebs of cabin fever!....hope to keep up with My posts now that I'm back on line, till then...RIDE SAFE!....Tigmaster....
