Awesome bikes. If you don't mind me asking what do these normally sell for? I like 'em.

Re: Switchblade Score

The only ones I have seen new are on eBay. They pop up every now and then for around $670 and $100 to ship. I have not seen that many of them selling second hand, so when I saw these I jumped on them They are beautiful bikes!

Hey Ed. Your Switchblade looks good with that back rim. Gives me some ideas for my Switchblade. I am going with a wider rim too

Re: Switchblade Score

Switched out front wheel with a black one, 26", changed out the handlebars, chainring and crank arm. Small changes, but I think the bike looks much better

Re: Switchblade Score

Hard to tell which one I like most

 

[ED-PV]

Same frame, but both ride totally different!

I have the "prototype" version of the Cannibal, stamped as such on the bottom of the frame and still going strong. Seriously thinking to convert mine to a BB eChopper.
I think the one piece OPC (Ashtabula?) BB diameter (near 62mm) is going pose problems for me. It is NOT going to be a drop-in replacement << IMHO.
Has anyone tried BB replacement w/a mid-drive on a Nirve?
Any helpful hints and suggestions? I don't have a welder nor a machine shop, but aim to strip to frame (much surface rust over a decade of use on the Balboa Peninsula) and ship it out for repaint or maybe even sandblast down to bare metal. before motorizing it.

Happy New Year, y'awl. 2022 We made it.

I figure I maybe able hit '2 stones w/1 bird!'... (rust/BBeMotor)
