This build is inspired a little by jeep2003's mini big bike from scratch
I'm shooting for a bike that will hopefully get around okish in the snow.
Parts:
One photo attached to show where I am going with it. What you can see is mostly just tacked together rather poorly with my vintage arc welder.
You'll have to forgive the messy garage. I really should tidy that up.
Not sure how fast progress will be. I'm juggling a newborn, work, and stuff right now and just work on it when I get a chance.
Let me know if I forgot anything or anyone wants to know more.

I'm shooting for a bike that will hopefully get around okish in the snow.
Parts:
- Picked up a harbor frieght engine a while ago when they were on sale and I had a coupon so it was under $90.
- I got wheels, sprockets, and a jackshaft from bmikarts (not sure if I can say that here, feel free to edit if needed mods)
- I got a bunch of new offcuts steel from work for 20cents a lb (Cheap). Cut up into conveniently sized 3' ish lengths. Also some of which were nicely pre-bent.
- Handlebars, steering stem, brake caliper, throttle from craigslist. Cannibalized from a mini frame that I thought was better than it actually turned out to be, so I started a frame from scratch.
