I finally did it, purchased a new friction drive from Staton-Inc, thanks to this site. Ordered on Friday and started prepping my mountain bike for it with new road tires, oiled chain, seat post rack, etc. Bike looks good even before I throw that Robin-Subaru on there.
My biggest concern is how to secure the motor to the bike so it's not stolen. Unlike the kits that mount the engine to the frame, this is a 5-10 minute job to install, and probably about that to remove it too. Scary thought, will be in the bike rack at work all day.
Anyway, thanks for the great community. Waiting on Fedex to deliver is going to kill me slowly for sure.
