That is cool. We lost engineman aka John Taylor a few years ago who
after getting his 1/4 scale coal burning (I got him up on propane)
boiler Steam engine. He then turned his bicycle into a steam engine
bicycle. Sad thing, his shop went to the trailer house area but the
bicycle is not to be seen. Someone trashed it fast or grabbed it.

These engine kits are offered from many sellers and the quality seems
to be all over the place. So I don't know what is gonna show up on my
doorstep. I will for sure be making custom mounts because ALL the
mounting options I have seen for these engines have been far from
ideal. I also don't like the gas tanks, mainly because they look like
a gas tank. I have seen several bike conversions that look great.
These were all based on Beach Cruiser type bicycles. However, I am
going to be hanging this engine on my eighteen speed road bike and the
gas tank would just look plain wrong, to me at least. I have already
designed and drawn a new gas tank that has a reserve tank in it. This
will require two gas valves unless I can find a valve I like that has
a reserve position. If anyone here is interested I can post updates on
the conversion. Since metalworking will be involved the posts will be
appropriate.
