40mph production frame- does one exist?

Look up a Felt Bixby. scotto- is pushing crazy HP (about 20) and speed (60+) on his and the bike could care less, almost like they were made for it.
 
I like this frame a lot too ;)



The Bixby......



They build strong frames......steel and aluminum.

Man, $900 for this?

It would be well over $1K just getting real brakes on the thing.

Heck with that kind of budget get the real thing.

That frame will run you 50+ MPH over anything all day long, and stop you when you need to.

Surly makes some darn bikes too, and you can get custom parts.

This is geared to be a 15mpg mountain goat, but the quality components will easily take high speed and stop you as well.

Don't get me wrong, I love Felt bikes, but $900 would have been fair if it came with at least a front disc brake and maybe a 3-speed and not that funky 2-speed kick-back thing.

Just my 2¢ about base bikes that will take it all and then some out of the box.
 
The worksman frames are hard to beat. Strong , a bit heavy , great track record .
Felt builds beautiful bikes but they are proud of them and the price reflects that.
A worksman 2600 with front drum brakes is $475 . Prety good bike for the $$$$$
AND IT"S A FLATTTTTTTIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE. Cool bike...

Or spend $300 and buy this.....



put whatever brakes you want on it and build this.....



and blow peoples minds going faster than you want to for an additional $1,700 and you build it yourself....not pre-fabbed. Single speed with raw awesome power!

Thanks KC, you build very fine machines yourself and you're getting more innovative all the time......keep up the good work!
 
Just goes to show how inexperienced I really am- I thought Moto-Ped was a type, not a brand. Had to do some searching on that.
I've built about a dozen bikes, 50/50ish 4 to 2 strokes. I now see what I need for myself. Was looking at just buying a ********* but the fella wants 5000 or more. I can have more fun building it myself, but it's nice to have this kind of feedback, because I see how uninformed I actually am.
I will get it together. Thank you all for the input. It's great to hear from builders that I respect. I really appreciate it.
 
OK, it's possible that I am just not that bright. Actually, that's likely. ;)

I've been following along with MikeB on his motoped build.

I just can't seem to remember well anymore.



Thanks for all the input folks!

Don't let him fool you KC, Scotto's just a racing maniac! You put him on any bike and he's guaranteed a top two finish every time! That boy can ride!
.wee.

Well anything else compared to the green monster is like jumping out of a Ferrari and him finishing a race in a pinto!
 
Thanks KC, that's the kind of info I'm looking for.

For other people here, kcsbikes.com is the other website I'm a member of, and it's a pretty cool site that a very helpful member here runs. Check it out.
