Hi Chris, welcome to Motoredbikes.

Welcome Chris... Here is something to think about before starting your first build.

Thanks i have an entire brand new kit its the silver slant 66cc but i dont have a bicycle because im unsure of what one would be the best and simplest to hook right up. im looking to spend around $80-145 on the bicycle

For a first build this falls in your price range..Might want to try Craigslist, or Goodwill or the like, for a bike that will fit your needs.

I myself like a cruiser, but there are many other frames to choose from.

I cant see the picture says "The action that you were trying to perform has failed. " but with a cruiser bike. what do you do with the coaster brake?

I personally don't like coaster brakes on our bikes. Some do. Cut the sprocket/cap, remove the brake arm, install the rear sprocket, then install the brake. Don't depend on the stock brake clamp. Install a heavy duty clamp.

Try the link again, there were problems this morning with Photobucket, but seems to work now, at least it did just now.
