I have a project in my head for a chopper style bycicle.I just found out i can get my hands on and old beat-up motorcycle the kind that has wheels whith spokes.
what i want to do is use the motorbikes rear wheel on a custom bycicle frame BUT i want to adapt it so that it will accept bycicle free-wheel/hub cassette system so that i can change gears on the bike with a derailer.
Is this posible?what's the best way to do it if it is?i was thinking about doing some work on the motorbike's wheel hub maybe something involving wealding .......dunno
