Hmmmm....NO...My vote goes for making a HT engine frame too! ;-)

Just curious tho, the engine position seems to be a little higher than in most installs (does it make the bike feel any more top heavy?) or is it just an optical illusion caused by the bottom bracket without wheel stays attached to it?

Any ideas on price?

Thanks!

Andrew

PS - Video please! ;-)

Andy, The motor isn't that heavy where a couple of inches is going to be a factor in the handling department. The bike is extremely easy to handle because of its overall weight.

I spoke to Dean today. He quoted me a price of $295 for a BARE Chrome Moly frame MINUS the rear shock.

I do it all the time like second nature to me now! Did it for years in the peddle days before the china. Do gotta pay attention though.

Hi Easy,

The price is not bad BUT will a HT compatible frame be made available?...Also, where would one get the rear shock? are any particular brands / models recommended? HOw long to get a frame once ordered?

Thanks!

The frames are only for the Morini motors. As you can see. the HT motor will not fit on these frames. The HT frames will be a different project (which hasn't been started yet). As for the shock, its a regular rear shock that you can get one at any local bike shop or Ebay. The frames will probably be a 2-4 week. turn around time.
