I've actually got an idea of what I want to do about the various guards this will need but... Based on the amount of time (and money) it's taken me to get to this stage... Don't expect anything for another six months...  The next stage will be fitting the engine and fuel tank then I can 'plan around' that basic structure...

How on Earth did I miss this thread completely? I've been thinking/daydreaming about a DIY cycle motor / moped, but alas, local legislation gets in the way, making it nigh impossible (or prohibitively expensive) to get the machine road-registered.. Your machine looks like a true beauty though.. If you're still looking for some inspiration, take a looksy here: http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2008/10/14/honda-50-powered-vintage-bicycle-project/

Nice bit of thread-necromancy: good to see it all together, six months is plenty of time to get the engine fitted for summer!

i absolutely love cycle motors. i wish i had the time and money to find one in top working order a man unknown to me personally in my town owns one and i wish he would sell it to me, but alas after approaching said man he declined rather hastely and with some fear i might say. (being it either because i am so young and lets say androgenous bady wise or maybe because i look like something out of a salvador dali victorian nightmare lol. maybe both) oh well alas my search continues i adore the antiques in this town i live in just not so much the people they do njot know the value of what they may have and therefore cannot appreciate the textual history of such things. just the other day i found a shop that had some pretty steamy civil war memorabilia. ugh i am ranting now and do appologize for such things it just seems like a waste to me these people if you can call them that

really? anyone local to the Maryland area? No, it links to the indonesia craigslist, of all things. It's just a scam, they get flagged as fast as they can be posted. Here, found this on the baltimore CL and it's the same ad I get in NJ, just without the links to the indonesian CL.

Been off this post for a week or so and I am too lazy to scroll back - can someone remind me please where those nifty leather seats with the big springs come from? I need one for my next computer build...
PLUS - I am now on the hunt for a suitable frame and engine to paticipate in a cyclecar project, although a monowheel is still very tempting...

I think you may be referring to the Brooks cycle saddle? Perhaps there are others?

Rideable Bicycle Replicas has some oversprung saddles that are less expensive than a Brooks if that's what you're looking for.

Am I the only one picturing a mobile computing solution here? Wheels, seat, handlebars, monitor... CK

I am thinking of a portable PC build that combines a cyclecar - but for now I just need a seat like those on this post (it's a present for a fellow bicycle builder). Can someone please tell me the source?
