Shift Kit + Nuvinci = (Grin)

Clotho - Thanks for the handle bar pics! Our internet was down on the ship for a week. I just got it fixed. The park shots make me anxious for a vacation.

Oh man, I think my head just exploded.

Thanks Dave, I am having a blast on this thing.

There are many builders here that I think are superior. This is a particularly gifted group.

Thanks for the reference clotho, I found some links to threads with hblocal and I think I have a handle on how to do this now. It seems fairly straightforward if a little effort intensive, but of course the final result is more than worth it if done properly. I've heard of the tank sealer cream kit before too so I guess once I get the frame prepped it ought to be all gravy from there lol. I am not going to be doing this with my current felt as it is a V-12 model with an electric front hub motor on it, and basically complete as I want it. I'm thinking of using one of the Vintage Iron models like the Pursang or possibly starting with the blank canvas frameset and building it up from there.

I manage a snowboard shop that is partnered with a bike shop which is a felt dealer, and my side of the business will be opening next spring selling electric and motorized builds for customers and I want to have one or two showstopper builds ready to go for the grand opening next spring. This will be my winter project and I plan to use a number of high function features like you've used on your build to showcase what is possible with a little imagination and commitment.

It should shape up a lot like your build. I may also employ a front suspension fork to facilitate front disc brakes, although rigid front with a roller brake and generator hub is also being considered. I plan to use the jack drive kit from the Duvall boys and run that through a Shimano Nexus 7 rear hub with the roller brake for the rear. It will be done with a city utilitarian design ethic incorporating front and rear wire baskets for cargo capacity, and a center stand for stability while parking.

I will certainly post pics of the build in progress and once completed right here in motorbicycling.com

Thanks again for the inspiration and great information.

If not yours then the picture is

We are aware of this. He is selling finished bikes in Australia only, despite his statements. So far he has only bought one kit from us and has not installed it yet.

We called him on the carpet about this.....and he said he took it down. He also is stealing other's photos. Not cool IMHO. He wants to be a SBP installer in Aus. He has not got off on the right foot, obviously.

That isn't me. My bike isn't for sale. He is using my picture though but he didn't ask first.

He also has a picture of Datz510's Rotten Orange bike.

I've been playing with this one lately. I ported the cylinder as per Egor's instructions and added the expansion chamber. This thing hauls and is a blast to ride but not nearly as comfortable as the Felt.

Clotho,
What pipe is that? Looks good.

I want to humbly apologize. We did give him permission to use some of OUR photos on his WEBSITE. Certainly not eBay.

To me that whole ebay thing looks like a scam and I told him so. Something we do NOT want our products associated with and we don't approve of dragging pictures of our customer's bikes into an eBaY auction.
