That motor mount is nice. 2 pieces of angle iron.

very cool design...
a simple solution that works

Nice work! Love that angle iron, I might redo mine like that when I've completely had it with my SBP mount.

Excuse me flybytaco. Are you going to sign your name to the bike frame when done?

 

[GTX]

Watching since I have one too.I want it to look like it was done in the 50's,so it may have to be Whizzer powered though.

I see the Roadmaster is for sale now at Pirate Cycles. A very nice example of a mid-twentieth century traditional American bicycle, motorized. That thing looks good. How does it ride? Thankyou flybytaco.

zean thanks for the words of encouragement. it rides like a dream man once the motor starts making power at about 15 or so it pulls really nice. the pipe is loud as heck tho but i likes it. the production models will have a quiet exaust same look tho.

 

[jbcruisin]

That's great for that price. I spend more than that building one.

Hi. Well, this beautiful classic beach cruiser is too expensive for me. Beachcruiser is about my favorite style bicycle (I like 60's style choppers too), and the roadmaster is one of my favorite beachcruisers. Last year I was asleep dreaming: walking in a rough neighboorhood and I saw this bicycle locked to a bike rack at a plaza, I said to myself wow there's one of those road masters bicycles what's that doing here?
