To be honest that was the whole purpose for my jackshaft idea. Attached is how my bike should look when it is finished.

I got it off ebay. It was $130. It is cheap but it has all the parts I needed, disc brakes, suspension etc. The frame will need to be custom made. Not too tough though. I will keep the head stock and bottom bracket, then it just a matter of bending some tube and welding, oh ya and a custom seat. I attached a picture of the bike as is came.
