Moped Purchased

I purchased the bike I'll be using for my steampunk moped project a few days ago. The model I'm going with is a 1977 Bianchi Snark Eagle with a 50cc V1 Minarelli engine that I picked up for $300.oo. Here's the bike:

The concept here is to create an awesome steampunk moped with components that are 100% functional, not simply for looks.

As you can see, Henry, which I've named him, is pretty stock at the moment. The first part of the process will be upgrading the engine to a solid high-performance base. While I'm doing that, I'll be designing the steampunk details and searching for parts to actually put them together.
