yeah i saw that that’s what started my whole idea

ok i’ll stop calling it “steam punk”

i’ll go with oldytimey how about that, lol

nah i plan on basically fabricating most of the stuff that attatches to the frame, other than the engine and wheels; all the cabling and wires are going to be covered with cloth, so it looks like the older style insulation from the way-early electrical devices, i can’t make a moped engine look like a steam engine… yet, but i’m going to at least try to make it look older maybe a custom fan shoud and whatnot.

it’s not going to be a bunch of useless gears glued/welded onto it, i have my own sense of the way i want it to look.

as far as the “whole hog” style, that would be awsom a moped pennyfarthing, but i don’t think i could find a bike like that for under a grand, lol
