Can anyone tell me what they think of this bike ?? will it work properly

[beachcruiserman]

will an 80cc fit this frame, with or without mods, and some opinion please...!!!

hey guys, I found this cruiser to be real groovy, but im having second thoughts on whether a kings 80cc will fit in the frame. I think it will just as long as I create some kind of custom mounting to clear the pedal sprocket . advice needed as soon as possible..

thanks guys

wat up guys, I stumbled upon this awsome cruiser beach bicycle and I think that i could put my 80cc on it no prob, with maybe some minor mods to the frame mounts and so on, but I would like an opinion on performance, i mean, how well do guys think this build will work out for me . I need advice before I buy the bike, you know how it is...

I think I have the same frame, it was a Spookytooth build.

Seems to be a sturdy frame.

There are two things I would change:

1. the crank needs to have less teeth, it is geared too high, or I could have gone with the multispeed version

2. I am going to cut 2" off of the handlebar ends to allow for a slightly more forward seating position.

I like the frame, it is solid. No problems with things rattling apart and falling off yet.

Do a search on how to make the top tube into a gas tank. It is a little work but might be worth it with the big top tube. Eyeballing it, I think it will have close to the same volume as one of the regular bolt on tanks.

I think the manufacturer calls this frame a Greenline 107.

the tensioner

hey buddy, do you possibly think there is a way to use the army bike you built with a direct engine to sprocket drive (without the use of the chain tensioner). For some reason, I have MAJOR problems with my tensioner all the time, it gets loose, and the chain de-rails and ends up wrecking something. I tried everything, threadlock red, nylock bolts and nuts, and nothing, I think the tube I have it attached to is too small in diameter.. I mean i don't know what else to do but completely eliminate it. any thoughts??????


thnx

beachc'man...you really really gotta start doing your part on the forum...i keep merging your new topics about "which bicycle" into one topic, then you turn around and go off-topic in your own thread...from now on your misplaced posts will not be moved free of charge for you, from now on they will be deleted.
