Time to start planning my next build

Hi y'all.
I'm 6'1" I weigh 380lbs and the bicycle is my only means of transportation. I need it to buy groceries and run errands.

I will be driving many miles a day over the most abused and debris covered pavement Sacramento has to offer.

I need a work horse not a play toy.

Can you fine people help me find a new frame to build on?

I was thinking of this bike as a starting point: http://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Onyx-29-Cruiser-Bicycle/dp/B0086WKFTA

Replace the handle bars if you use that bike (you need 7/8"). It will make your life so much easier. The Onyx has 1" handle bars, your kits components works with 7/8" diameter. Your clutch lever and throttle control from the engine will not work with out excessive fabrication. The one I built I used mini bike parts and keep the big bar. The best thing about 29" wheels is that the stock 44 tooth sprocket works awesome.

This is my "work horse".

Thanks. That's a nice looking bike.

I didn't expect the handle bars to be oversized. I'll have to check sick bike parts for the throttle.
I'm in CA, I run 4 stroke only, automatic clutch.

The standard rear sprocket that comes with the kits can NOT be mounted on the Onyx wheel.....way the spokes are arranged

 

[TobiasKilroy]

OK. Good to know. Care to elaborate more?

I'm not set on the onyx. I simply offered it as a flavor to start us off. I'm trying to find the right bike, so suggest one.

I used a clam shell sprocket kit on mine.

Have you looked at this bike? It's also a 29er and the stickers are removable.

Nice. I've heard of those but didn't know their name.

Stickers don't bother me in the slightest. I'm going to look up some tech specs.

No offense, but if I could afford license and insurance, I'd be driving a cager not a bike.
49cc is my limit.
