Bit of an aside.Very nice job! But
This doesn't really look like an average DIY could assemble this bike.
You are obviously a pretty adept mechanic-and a handy fabricator.
Your "torque are equivalents" fabrication-drilling hand filing cutting out getting the little steel plates-not typical DIY stuff.
Are any of the front wheel kits out there really bolt on safe?
I'm getting older almost 61 and I'm considering using a 1994 vintage Trek 950 as an electric assist bike to get me the 5 miles-one way-to the various sub teaching jobs I do.I have an ancient used 98 Suburban-gets 15 mpg in careful city driving(broke so new car not in cards).
I wonder if these kits are really peak speed 12mph to 18-20 mph-drop trip to under 20 minutes.
Sorry for the big aside
Thanks
Charlie
