Mustie, you are rewriting the definition of Cool with this bike! I hope your going to Greaserama and bringing this with you. What a treat it would be to see in person!
Mustie1, Love the exhaust, springs are a great functional detail! I like the muffler heat guard look better than the coffee can chain guards, not sure that the colors of the coffee can work for the bike, maybe better when done, got a red, white and blue thing going there. I need to start collecting aluminum base ball bats for exhaust systems!
Wonder what size those spokes are, 13 guage, 2.3mm, 0.09 mils? Standard bicycle is 14 gauge, 2.1mm. Wonder if you use a spoke tensiometer when truing? Apparently most spoke failures happen due to under tension. Maybe that's the one tool you don't own? I have one coming in the mail, Park Tool TM-1. Looks like it can do up to 11 gauge, 2.9mm spokes.
Looks awesome I love the bat that's pretty cool and the piston.
I like that coffee can idea that's awesome.

Happy New Year!
Looking good, how loose does the belt need to be to avoid drag when using the pedals, could you use some kind of sprung tensioner.

This is really cool looking… it's going to inspire someone to build one for sure. Good job sir. Can't wait to see it run.

I like the copper heat shield and the copper tubing on the chain would be in keeping with the theme. Amazing mind you have!
