Thoughts please on this bike as a potential bargain for a hub drive conversion (bbs02 or similar):


I’ve no connection to the seller!

Do you mean a mid drive conversion or were you thinking of stripping out the Rohloff and selling it separately and going for a rear hub conversion?

If the Rohloff is sound, you'd get a good price for it I reckon.

I’m honoured to stand aside and let you have first refusal on this vfr

I reckon a hailong case will fit on that downtube

it would be criminal if this beauty is going to have a BBSHD and a Hailong battery.

I was only joking. The battery looks a bit tight, but it is a large frame, so it should be OK. It has a normal BB and normal shape around it, so a motor should slot straight in.
