Haven't posted since last year. Been reading just, not logged in when doing so. I've been in talks with Mike Steiff from Whizzerworks in Ohio about purchasing this bike. He is a VERY good guy. Very helpful and considerate. His asking price was $3700 and I've talked him down a bit to $3400. As I research more it makes me less sure. Also, I haven't made the deal yet, but I am leaning that way. BUT, if anyone knows of a better deal or a "bulletproof" expensive machine I'm open to it. My goal is reliability. I will gladly trade speed for reliablity (and maybe more torque-as I am a big guy-6' 4in, 240lbs). The bike will be a daily commuter. You see i've been pedalling an ebike 14 miles/weekday for 7 months. I got so very tired of riding around with a backpack filled with nothing but tools waiting for the next time my motorized bike would break down. It is a Gx50 with a SBP shift kit and 4G. Good setup (on my last bike which was stolen), but on that current bike... Screw it, I went electric. However, I played in two softball games last thursday after pedalling 14 miles and an 9 hour shift of Medical Lab work. My legs are still jello days later so I figure it's time to get motoring again. I am no stranger to working on my bike, however after 8 or so bikes, I thought I'd let someone else make it "bulletproof" and just buy it whole and have it shipped to Tulsa, Ok.
Photos exceed the allowable so I'll try this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/88978123@N05/ Hope it works... also, "The Animal" racing bike is on there too. I am thinking of perhaps purchasing it from "MikeyBike" in Chicago. Can't find any reviews from people who've bought from him though. -Mitch-
