hey everyone.heres my story... i had surgery on my collarbone a week and a half ago. so the past week or so has consisted of sleeping and surfing. i was on some regional craigslist and found a listing thats selling cruiser style cycles with complete engines for 800 bucks.i thought this was a little high. so i did some researh (google rules) and came up with this site and a number of others!!! im planning my first build soon. i cant work right now so im short on cash but ill order my engine kit off of ebay soon!!!

by the way the kit is goin on a jc higgins flightliner heres a pic of the bike. i pick it up this saturday. im excited!!!
