You lost me when I had to think about Rosie O'donnell in a thong.
I wasn't comparing a rack mount to a frame mount....just giving my reasons for going with the kit that I did. Any by the way, mine is a 2 stroke engine (Mitsubishi TLE 43 - under $300 when I built my bike). If you think getting 1000 miles out of an engine is acceptable, that's fine. I know that the good quality Japanese engines are rated at 600 hours, so even at a modest 20mph speed, that works out to 12,000 miles. Many go way more than that. If you like the frame mounted engines, then build those....I have nothing against them, believe me. I just don't have time to be doing constant maintenance and tweaking to my bicycle....have too many other things that require my time and attention. Peace.
