Hi,
My name, as you may have guessed is Christopher. I live in Beautiful Brentwood Bay, right near Victoria. I've got a Schwinn Cruiser, currently with a rack- mount Dimension Edge on it. But, have not had it out to amaze the populous around these parts for a couple of years. I had put it away as I was tired of burning through tires with the friction roller. At the time, I was riding all winter in the rain, and began epoxy-ing sandpaper to wooden drive wheels, after I had worn out the original. Now I find that the Happy Time style kits have come down so much in price.... Well, you know the rest, I am itching to buy one. Close by, and cheapest of all is the PowerKing of ill-fame. I suppose the mature thing to do would be to wait a little longer, and get one from Dax or someone. If anyone in my region has direct experience with PowerKing from Burnaby, I'd really appreciate it if you'd PM me with your impressions. I've read a number of posts which seem to end with someone right on the cusp of buying one, but no follow up. I am mechanically inclined, and do like to tinker, so Happy Times are for me. The rack mount was just so darn practical, I rode it 3500kms, and it still runs like a champ, but it doesn't have the panache now does it? I am after-all not commuting anymore, but having fun. Oops, looks like I have been going on and on.
