    My Manco Thunderbird Restoration

    i have seen many a t-bird. many. i think yours is one of the best. i would have made the chain guard jus a bit longer to really clear the chain as well. jus my $0.02. if you dont care about havin stock parts a set of nice bmx bars really improves the ride. nice bike!

    Scrub Brake

    yes i enjoyed that brake very much on the bird i had running. lost the spring while riding though, rigged it with a bungee cord on the seat bolt. a little tacky. noone noticed. worked great.

    Your Clone

    i totally agree with you. two t-birds( check board), one clone, one briggs. clone out preforms it in every way except top speed. briggs is like 1 or 2 miles faster. clone has more power more accel more easier to repair more easier to troubleshoot.totally more reliable.
