Hi all. I'm motorless at the moment, but have been lurking here for the past few weeks looking for inspiration/answers/direction. I want a challenge and something dead-reliable (for 240mi roundtrips to the family farm), will probably chop up a full-suspension Schwinn S-30 ('98??) and put a Yamaha TTR-50E motor in it. Or I might go the easy route and use a '69 Schwinn Typhoon frame I'm almost done stripping. Either way I'm pretty much set on the Yamaha 50 unless something else catches my eye in the next couple days.
I still have some more measurements to take, and some details to iron out, but I think it's plausible w/ a Staton rear hub/sprocket. I've got a Sprintcar fabricator buddy who can do ANYTHING...plus he's the man w/ the welder and always good for laughs, it'll be a fun build.
I actually have a couple Q's already, I'll ask here first but post on the main page if I go ignored:
(1) Anyone know where I can get a wide 1-piece crank...like the ones sold w/ the 4-stroke kits?
(2) If I chicken out and use the old Schwinn Typhoon, is anybody here familiar w/ weak points on the frame that need beefing up?
Oh, and before I go, thanks for this xlent forum.
