You Build My Second Bike

I want the community of bike builders to help me with my next bicycle project.



First, I have to say that I have already a 66cc motor that is straight out of the box and was thinking about replacing the needle bearing, along with the pin that it goes in (sorry i cant remember the name of it at the moment. I consider my self to be a newbie still). I am also thinking about the G2-A frame, but other that that the options are all yours. Also thinking about adding an electric motor in the front to help with hill climbing. I also want to keep it within a reasonable budget, of say 1000 dollars.



What else should I add to the build? Help me decide please.

just want to bump this thread a bit.

Does anyone know if thouse rubber things that go between the bike frame and the motor mount really work? I am using a piece of garden hose there now , and i guess it works, but would it work better with or with a special rubber cushion what bikeberry sell or some other online retailer?

Hope someone can answer this one for me

you don't put any rubber in your mounts. its an easy way to break a stud

So instead if posting to a second thread, I thought I would continue here.

I am so close to buying a gt2-a frame but I am not sure where to buy it from. I heard somewhere that the chinese ones are crap and that they have week welds. Anyone here know where to buy a good quality gt2-frame that is built in america?

Also a quick questions about brakes. where do most of the people on this website buy discs from? I was looking at chinese ones one ebay, but I thought i was ask first here.

i wish i was back in miami and moved up to illinois and now that i have built my mb and deciding on building another one with no shops that deals with mb in this town i gotta make/order everything

 

[johnsteve]

we got to hangout when it gets warmer. So where did you get your frame from and why the hell are you here from miami? Its damn cold here

 

[undercover bluebird]

yea man your from Illinois also , I'm here in DeKalb . and moved up here to go to school. once i get another job again imma start building my second bike with reed and shift kit. you'll still catch me outside here and there

I'd say it's a good deal to get the GT2-A frame from the gasbike site for $120. Just make sure it is the one with the bosses for the v-brakes. Don't think of this as a end all be all frame, though. Consider it as a one season frame and the low cost makes it feasible. Enough miles and the aluminum frame will crack somewhere.

thanks timbone, but i already got the one from ebay.com. Its the one for 145 or so. The reason I bought from there is because I noticed that the rear dropouts have a place for disc brakes and that is what I want. Another plus is that they have the headseat for no extra charge.

However I am now in the process of locating a rubber cushion motor mount from anywhere. Some places seem to be sold out of this item. Any ideas where to get one anybody?
