The very first front wheel drive prototype is finished and attached  to a girls beach cruiser.  It was the only bike I could find in a local store with a 1″ headset….they are all 1 1/8.  My dual crown front fork that I have been transforming came with a one inch steer tube. I will post some pictures shortly and some video!  I am truly excited about how well the gears and housing ended up coming together with the dual crown front fork set up. I am not an engineer by any stretch but I do know what can be made in a machine shop….almost anything! If you can imagine it and draw it, it can be built!

Things are looking good. I received all my parts last week from the CNC shop. There were some minor challenges, but the first ever shaft drive prototype is ready for trial. I will be purchasing a 3 speed Bojon Beach cruiser and installing the new front wheel drive. It is analogous to a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. I am putting wings on the traditional bicycle….not really but close!  lol
