Just saw the newly posted Tourmaster LWB. I think this is the correct bike for my commute out of all the AZ choices. And it looks like electric assist will easily fit out of the way under the seat between the two horizontal and parallel frame tubes.
I was just checking wally world online and there looks like a there's a few good 700c Schwinn road or hybrid bikes that would make good parts candidates for the Tourmaster. On the other hand, they're aluminum, so they'd be more difficult to weld.
Too bad I already bought a bunch of the AZ plans and books. This one would have been enough. I should have waited a couple of weeks, since I was told this bike plan was in the queue for release.

So brad this bike can be made with nothing more than 2 26 inch bikes.
Reason I ask is I got 4 mountain bikes coming friday.
I am looking for something very low cost that I can sell to get some capital up.
Got plenty of Bike parts in my bin's.
Plus I want to keep building something.
May have to put my aluminum hubs with screwers and disk brake adapters up on ebay to pay for the plans though.
Maybe a couple spin cycles be cheaper and easier.
I will have to give it some more thought.

Yes, all you need is a pair of 26 inch wheels, two 26 inch frames, and a few extra tubes.

That looks like a spin off from the "Re-Cycle" bike I posted about a while back......only yours looks like it is designed to be much stronger. Any plans to get a video posted??

As soon as the DeltaRunner plan is done, I will have some time to mess around with the video editing software again.

Any plans to get a video up before the really cold weather sets in?? I am really impressed with this design, and will probably scrap my plans for that Re-Cycle once I see a video for this one. Besides, the creator of the Re-Cycle has disappeared, he is no longer an ebay seller after thousands of sales, and also no longer responds to e-mails.

This weekend Radical Brad will be doing and uploading the videos. It was actually in the 80's here yesterday so we took the DeltaRunner, CycleBully and HighRoller out for vids and pics. All will be done this weekend.

OK, consider my plans for the Re-Cycle deleted, disposed of and forgotten. After seeing that video, as soon as I can have a place to work in, this will probably be the first ride I build............after the Cycle-Bully. That trailer seems as though it requires the least amount of welding, and would be one of the easiest first projects to try.......not necessarily the least expensive with the electronics......but it would definitely show me where my welding skills stand.
