Thanks for the kind words and support PoPs 
The cyclone 500watt and a nuVinci hub you say..12v 28ah...
you will get a far bit of distance wont be exillerating performance
though buddy, depending on terrain and pedal assist i would estimate
~15-20milebut dont hold mme to that. IMHO you would be better
off going with 3 12v SLAs if you can swing it and ramp it up to 36v
With regards to the hard tail rear, TBH i dont really know LoL...i preach
to most get a full suspension bike and here i am going with a hard
tail LoL...I have a lil surprise in tonights update though PoPs might
make a lil more sense when you see the last too pics buddy (thsts just
a "dummy" seat too, its one of my old ones off the first trike that
i cut down a lil too far, bit too uncomforatble for me, will either
re-upholster or buy a new one and cut it down again like i did on
the trike, they are only 20 bucks from Movement Systems here in Perth
Sprnger front end? not on this one buddy. I am still in two minds which
way to go and am waiting on a a mate to bring around a Mountain bike
shock he has for me too slap on the bike for a look, if this isn't used
i might...miiiight not firm, build a fork similar to this-->
(fork on the bike on right of pic)
OK PoPs..wait no longer for an update here ya go SIR-->
Update
Bit of a late one today the rear of the frame is progressing
along nicely but boy am i knackered, long days take it out
of this ole timer haha.... I had to redo my work several
times this afternoon until i was satisfied...i think the
neighbours might have also picked up a few new swear
words, wasn't easy sailing by a long shot i just wasn't
on my game today, in the end though, it all came together
and im rapt rapt with the look...here's what i have for you
all this evening anywayz-->
The rear dropouts are fully welded inside , ill get some
close up MACROs tomorrow in the daylight, you cant
see the welds i run a double fillet weld adn hit it with the
flap disk it looks nice IMHO... I have also shown in the
last two pics WHY i have opted to mount the upper rear
tubing in front of the "seat tube" doing so leaves adequate
area for the "mini shock" that will suspend the seat and save
my kidneys ;-) The tubing IS NOT welded to the frame
at all, i want to complete the lower tubing tomorrow
prior to welding. The gap between the rear drop-outs is
180mm the 3 speed i intend using for "everyday cruising"
is 175mm from lock nut to lock nut. I intend to rip a
rear wheel off my trike tomorrow (has 20x4.25 rims/tires
and slot it into the rear end to make 100% sure there's
adequate clearance, i know there is but i'm HANGIN
to see how she looks with a fat 4inch 20 on the ***
end haha......ok I'm out please if you have any
suggestions or question feel free to fire away...
