Has anyone tried to put a 212cc engine on a Grubee Skyhawk frame.. or any frame, really?

I recently came across a used Skyhawk GTS frame and would like to build it up with a 4 stroke 212cc engine, but when I look at other build photos online (Even though I havent been able to find many) It looks like a very! tight fit on most frames. Was hoping that someone else has done this before so I can go into it kind of knowing what to expect. If not, I'll try to keep this updated on what I come across. My funds are limited though, so it may take me a while to do things.

a 212 does not fit in a skyhawk frame

it will fit in some felt framed and most lowrider frames

I was going to try and put one on a 50's jc Higgins frame

does anyone know of a specific low rider frame that has worked well with this engine in the past for anyone?

Can't say I've seen any 212s in a lowrider on the forum but I also don't like lowriders...

It's a heavy sorta motor but if it's a strong steel frame then it should work with proper mounting techniques..

Since when? lots of people have 212's in skyhawk frames and its not hard to do!there are both horizontal and vertical mounts.

that second one is a felt, which I said it does fit in. it doesn't clear the petcock in the first frame, notice that there's no petcock installed

the second one is a kmb felt copy and the first is not done point was yes they do fit!

Does anyone know of a particular steel bicycle that happens to be easy to mount the engine in with the normal commercially available mount? It looks like a classic Schwinn that has the engine mounted in it on gasbike.net but I've heard that they had to be chopped to fit.

One of these might have enough room
