Donor bike + Woosh kit advice pls

[Sanjuro]

I need some advice on which Woosh kit to buy and a donor bike to suit it. I would use the bikes for longer trips, e.g Central London to Windsor, South Downs. I can spend upto 300 or 400 on the donor bike.

I want a mountain bike with disc brakes, should they be hydraulic or mechanical?I'd like 29 inch wheels, but I see the kits come in 26, so I'll stick with that.

I'll need someone to fit it for me as well as I don't have the know how.

If you haven't already got a donor bike and won't be able to fix it yourself anyway you will probably do better with a ready-built complete bike. (?Woosh RIO MTB?)

I would keep an eye on this police auction site, they do bikes.

Bumblebee Auctions

Keep an eye on Freecycle and Gumtree for donor bikes as well.

Hope this helps

With something like that I'd have to pay over a grand all at once, which I can't do any time soon. If I get a donor I can ride that around for a while until I'm ready to convert. Plus a converted donor just feels more individualis tic and personal.

some customers ordered their bikes to be sent to us in Southend to get the conversion done.
This Voodoo is pretty good value and works well with the XF08C kit:

I wouldn't mind bringing the bike down to Southend once I get it, how much do you charge to fit a kit?
