Justjoined and a Noob question regarding a bike type to make motorized. I found a Trek "Woody" with the spring-type old style front suspension. It is aluminum framed. $100
What i most want to avoid is grabbing a relatively cheap donor bike to add a motor to and find out it is not at all an easy conversion.
Does any one have any experience with this frame? The weird hump for me mentally to overcome is matching FRAME- To - ENGINE - buying them separately, and installing with little to less major issues. Also with an aluminum frame - simple welding to overcome small things becomes a bigger issue for me. The front down tube is fatter and dont want attachement problems with the front engine clamp.
Thanks for helping a noob like myself sniffing after this project in Portland!
