Thoughts about frame

[Redbiker]

Just wondering what people thought about converting this bike to motorized or if anyone has? I just bought it because it was praised on the frame. Its a 2000 Marin Eldrich Grade. Will probably switch out wheels ,forks, seat and handlebars. Rides very smooth right now as is though

Those kind of forks are great for M/Bs. A new rear wheel and a fat arse seat and you're off and running.

Fat Arse Seats are MANDATORY!

Hard to pick new wheels for it.. im going to put a YD100 on this one though, so need to be good and I havent been able to find a good seat yet either.. tried many but all are very uncomfortable! Manitou SX forks on it but dated from 2000.. Any recommendations would be welcome!

Im using this one myself for over 5 years now...its a really good memory foam type construction and extremely comfortable for my wide, fat butt...lol.

Here is the seat at Amazon, but i believe that Walmart still carries them at about half the price of Amazon.

I like suspension seat post. Brings a whole new level to comfort.
