Hello all, I have just built my first bike! The donor is a mountain bike, 15 speed and about 8 years old. I found it at a yard sale for $8.00NZD (thats around $4 US). Bargain!!
I had been looking at kits on the New Zealand version of eBay called TradeMe (www.trademe.co.nz) I also had seen a guy ride past my window at work every day for a few weeks... always on his back wheel...all the way down the road! The kit I got on Trade Me is just a Z-Box kit from Australia called something else. Had no problems with the install, but am totally hooked on tinkering with the thing. Because I work with marine engines and outboards, I have used a fuel tank from a 2hp Yamaha outboard, secured to the bike rack tucked up behind the seat. I like it a lot, but it is only 1 litre. I'll ad some photos later on. I am going to do something with the chain idler, I don't like it at all. I do like riding it and tinkering with it.
Look forward to chatting with y'all.
