| Well i have my conversion bike sitting in the garage a trek y26 which i was able to purchase on ebay. I am hoping that maybe in the next few months i can find a second hand kit on one of the boards, if not i will just have to buy new at the end of summer. I would appreciate it if anyone comes across a kit to give me a heads up. Many thanks VP.  |

| If no one buys my complete bike by April 19th, I'll be selling the kit separately. I'll let you know.

| Bill, You sold my Cruzbike! Hope you turned a profit. At least you got to keep the Huffy. That should bring a couple of $ from a scrap yard.

Yes I did sell it and I turned a real good profit, I gained another friend in many ways. The saga goes, I was about ready to change out the wheels to put a smaller foot print on the ground and an offer was made over the web site. When the smoke does clear from all this wheeling and dealing with conversion kits, I will have been on the up-grade path towards a Silvio, the final goal. I almost have enough green in the pocket to make a run over to Floral City. There they have a conversion installed on a mongoose and a Sofrider V2. The Sofrider has a price tag a bit below 1100 and the conversion a bit below 500. From what I have been told, I could swap out the front gearing very easy and create a Free-Sofrider but that would put the price tag almost the same as the one in Floral City. (Confused yet?) I could do the same swapping with the mongoose conversion and be a bit ahead with the green stuff. All in all, this is an adventure and so far I am still ahead money wise, just a little wear and tear on my old truck. Missed out on the Assault last weekend but in the missing I gained a relationship with a group of riders out of Orlando that helped me find a pathway from east to west on a trail that I did not know existed. So, Pete, our bike has traveled a good deal of miles not attached to a frame. But soon it will be used ....... until it goes down to the next person. _________________ Bill from Sebastian Giant OCR2 Mongoose Switchback Cruzbike Conversion " Pain is only temporary, quitting is forever."

Pete, West Orange Trails, goes from the East side of Orlando, north of where you are located, over to Lake Louisa State Park. I have you email address somewhere and I will send you the google earth information. _________________ Bill from Sebastian Giant OCR2 Mongoose Switchback Cruzbike Conversion " Pain is only temporary, quitting is forever."
