New project..."El Guapo" or ELgin the handsome bike

[bricycle]

Ha.... I HAD 2 front 20" wheels with front brakes, but nice guy I am, I sold them to CABE'rs. Now I have none for El Guapo...
Anyone have one for me???

I've got a beefy wheel from a moped that might work. Won't be able to get to it until next week. I believe it is a 22" x 2.5

Its been 5 months. Any progress on El Guapo? Please post updated photos.

I wonder if he could just use the engine as support for BB. Or just make a support that is hidden behind the carb.

Finally, some progress!~
I marked, drilled, tapped and mounted drive sprocket to Stingray rear hub (thanks old sears snowblower and Schwinn for leaving enough meat to the hub to mount it).
also built up 20" front wheel with a WD hub and installed that.
Bought a centrifugal clutch (and 4' of chain) for 39.95 shipped. Great deal. Motor mounted and all installed. Chain just clears frame!
Bars and saddle mounted, but I am gonna invert twin bar's seat mount to give saddle a down low look. Added pet cocks to tank/carb also. Next is rear caliper brakes, fuel line, throttle and brake levers/cables.
Gonna try dual big Delta headlamps, and rear turn signals.
Also working on pedal drive for it so will qualify for Moped status.
