Well I've think I've seen all the pictures and read quite a bit on the forum over the few days I've been here. Theres so much great stuff and I keep going back and forth about what to build.
But I did go out and buy an old Worksman Industrial (2 wheeler) and will pick it up next week. http://www.worksmancycles.com/
This bike has some sentimental value because it was used at the company where I used to work. A bunch of them were donated when my company shut down, to a charity thats helping kids . Its a very heavy duty bike and I think it would look good with a frame mount and a gas tank mounted under the top bar like the antique ones I have seen here. It would probably work well with an electric hub motor too.
The only thing I haven't found on the forum is a frame motor with a chain drive comparison to a frame mount with a belt drive. However, I've read accounts that the belt drive (on rack mounts) has less vibration than a chain drive.
Any comments are helpful.
