double trouble

[Bruce]

We started two truck builds the other day..I'll try to keep this thread going as we build.

Under way

I've had a hard enough time getting 1 bike done. I can't imagine trying to get all the fabrication and everything done on 2 trucks. Looks good so far, can't wait to see the finished products.

[Ricks]

Bruce, did you buy a tubing bender?  If so, which one?  What are you planning on for motors?

[Bruce]

I didn't buy one rick but I'm going to..we had the parts bent up out west at a bike fabricator.
  One bikes getting simplex so it should be a pig...the other either a gc190 or a whizzer engine with electric start... That's because I don't wanna try and do a kick start on the whizzer.
 One thing I don't like is the simplex stand for mounting the rear wheels...may salter the look and shape of those.  I tried a set from 3\16 and they're just too funky for me.
   It may be their height(with the back of the bike at 7 13\16 which DW gave me for a height there).
 I have a third frame and may space the two front bars apart more...moving it closer to the seat to increase the height on the top bar...that would help.
  For now,these two are going together as is.

Nice start!

one bikes getting two worksman wheels w/drums on the rear and a sportsman 27" front w/drum...that ones gonna have the simplex engine so we are gonna hafta get tricky with the pulley sizes because both bikes are using whizzer sheaves  and that engine isnt torquey. The other has two worksman wheels with moped drums laced into them in the rear and another moped hub for the front is gonna be put in another wheel...that drums bigger  so the bike should have plenty of stopping power.
   Looking now into getting a box built ,maybe aluminum and probably one will have the slant back.
     anyhow I'll take a few more pics later after I go hack off those rear wheel stands.
