I just picked up a Manco Streaker (think it is anyways) roller that I was thinking about rebuilding it with either a DB 2.8 or a Tec 3hp for my grandson after he learns how to ride a bicycle LOL.... I did one mod to it last night, I bent the handle bars forward simular to Ruttman Wild Goose so they are slightly bent forward and not pointing at the rider... This gave the bike a whole new look.... I am also contimplating on moving the rear wheel back maybe 2-3 inches to stretch the wheel base and possibly swap out the 5" wheels for 6"...... I will probably cut out the eng plate and weld in a better plate, the stock plate is pretty cheap and unsightly..... My goal is to give this bike a more vintage look and get rid of the cheapness of it..... The black plastic fenders are going and will be replaced with traditional metal fenders, the oval seat has to go too and will get something like a Lil Indian or Wild Goose style seat...
At any rate, if anyone has pics of one of these bikes they built I'd like to see what you came up with...:thumbsup:
