    WalMart Mongoose donor?

    Tom K... The idea is to have the top bar no higher than the top of the wheels, and even lower if you can.. you can adjust the rear suspention spring to help lower it some.. 24" or 26" doesn't really matter, the same rule still applies.. The 26 " bike would give you a little more room in the...

    The final finishing touch

    Hey Doug!! What do you mean the final change? Is there such a thing? Looks like the north rounders would give more knee room, but you say they didn't work out for you .. Do you still have the riser on the Telle tube, or is this on the Red bike.. Or have I lost count.. I have the wide cruzer...

    power assist is definately a reasonable subclass

    Tiara E- Cruzbike Really a poor mans quest :) John T , Doug ! I have a question .. If I put a short chainstay on , could I expect a 22" B/B or lower ? It is now at 25".. I guess what I am asking is , how much shorter is the short chainstay than the original Kit stay.. I'm also...

    Quest Kit ??

    Hey ! things are looking up ,as far as tire size .. As I see it a 559 or 451 quest with 406 wheels could take a 2" or more tire width, even with the short chainstay. What happend to the 1.0 max??? Am I missing something?? Bill

    Quest Kit ??

    John T.. Thanks for the reply .. I'm hoping for a Quest Capable of wide tires.. I am thinking of a rear 20" hub motor... My Idea is the extra unsprung weight ,( motor & batterys) wouild best be handled with wider tires.. Hey Doug! .. I had thought about the things you brought up. A...

    power assist is definately a reasonable subclass

    Doug ... I didn"t make it very clear.. I should have told you i was thinking of putting the Cruz kit on this configuration, with the stem adaptor comming up from the bottom of the steerer rather than on top by the handel bars .. The 20" motor wheel would be on the rear, and the 20" Capprio...

    power assist is definately a reasonable subclass

    Doug & John T.. I was also thinking of running the tellie tube out the bottom of the steering tube with the same adapter as on top .. I have a 20" wheel with Caprieo hub 21"-106" gear range ... See my posted pic above.. Maybe leg problems with the fork, just thought of that.. Wadayathink...

    power assist is definately a reasonable subclass

    Buyagain I do like your bike, and the belt & pulley set up with centrifucal clutch .. My friction drive project was never anything more than an excuse to get my hands durty :) As far as range , we all know gas is the winner.. I think it all comes down to the type of riding one wants, or...
