I figured I would attach a couple pictures of my first two builds. I didn't get very creative with them just used a couple new cruiser bikes.
I just got started on the winter build. Now that I am recently retired I can finally build parts for myself, instead of making them for customers. Going to get real creative with the winter build. The only thing I will be using from the China kit is the engine, everything else will be fabricated and machined in my shop.Mostly 6061 polished Aluminum, or stainless.

Yes, I am going to just use it as a single speed. I built it for my wife to ride, and she said she didn;t want to hassel with shifting gears. Guess she had a 10 speed many years ago that the chain kept coming off, probably a junk derailer, back in the day.
Thanks for the kind words.
