My question lies within the title.
A little background info: I built a bike a little over a year ago using a raleigh comfort bike and the dax 50 engine kit. a few things failed on it (my fault due to improper install and not taking good care of the bike... jumping etc..) mainly my front mount. I used dax's clamshell adapter and was riding on an abandoned golf course where i was jumping my bike and when i landed the front mount studs both broke off. The plastic inside the throttle housing kept breaking on me also. I left the bike alone for quite some time and have always wanted to get it up and running again yet lacked the extra time and money to do so. The engine probably oonly has ~100 miles on it.
Ive renewed my interest and was just planning on starting over with a new kit when i went into my garage and realized all i needed was a new throttle assembly,throttle cable, large frame adaptor, and front mount studs. Those things, along with a new idle speed screw and minor parts, is only gonna run me about $45. So now im stoked, and im also looking to buy a new cruiser.
Now heres where i need a bit of help: Are there any reasonably priced cruisers with a front down-tube small enough to fit the stock front mount? As of now im planning on getting a Schwinn Landmark to put my kit onto, unless of course I can find a cruiser that will accept the stock front motor mount.
Thanks
