as the title says im looking for a bike to put one of the ebay engine kits on. Ive been eying 29" Men's Genesis Astra Gx7 Bike, Blue - Walmart.com and im wondering if there's anything better out there for around the same price. i like the fact that its rated for 300lb tho i know most bikes are under rated anyway but im 260lb and 6.5ft tall so beefier the better. once you add the engine weight and vibrations makes me feel more "safe" lol

and Ive been eying Manic Mechanic Billet Sprocket Adapter Sprocket for Motorized Bicycle Engine | eBay

There's a thread for that sort of thing in the Electric Bikes forum: http://www.bikeforums.net/electric-b...-bicycles.html
