Hey guys,
I've been working on my first build for.. what seems like a long time now and i've basically come to the point where I feel like the bike is a really limiting factor in every aspect that has made this project difficult. All parts of the bike were from a very cheap second hand bike I picked up, in poor condition.
So now i'm thinking of removing the kit, and cleaning it all up and installing it on a new frame.
If I post some exact names of bikes hopefully someone will know if people have used the kits with these frames before
Or any other information.
I think the first frame I looked at was the Avanti Voltage http://totallyspoked.com.au/images/uploads/Avanti Voltage.jpg but I dont really like the bikes with the non-flatbar frames.
Thesedays however it seems like most bikes have these stupid dropbar frames, for some reason, and that the main frames I like are roadbike frames.
Which brings me to the first question of, can you install one of these on a roadbike with high gauge spokes? Will durability suffer? It seems to me nearly any roadbike would do as they all practically have the flatbar frame, big wheels, and thin frames.
