UPDATE 3: How I Made It To This Point I’ve received private questions regarding this build so I’ll share some history. I began thinking about a new bike 18 months ago (saving my nickels, dimes, and $20’s) after in 2017 purchasing an inexpensive 500w fat tire electric beach cruiser, my first...

Me too.

The Luna X1 has a $300 upgrade for the motor when you purchase the bike. Have you reached out to Luna to see how they can help?

I noticed the 2000w on Luna's website and thought the same.

This will be my first IGH. After endless research on them, I selected this route with the Gates Drive for the easy cleaning and I can just hose off the mud, never adjust a derailleur again, and how they look is a plus. So far, my only wishy-washy decision was on the Kindernay. Pushkar did a good...

I don’t hunt but I'm curious your opinion on the appropriate drive train for this activity?

Why did you plant that seed??? :) I take your point and agree or at least hope it will hold value.

I have two names in mind - "The Fremont" or "Overkill".

Tough build choices may be in my future. :)

Yes - I have a budget and once Pushkar provides a cost I'll share on the thread.

More pictures.

That is a big reason for choosing this frame style.

UPDATE 2 - Component List (Draft) Edit: Fixed Errors 4/3/21 Building the list took longer than I expected especially since I chose Kindernay over Rohloff. Feedback is welcome. Grouping Component Manufacturer Notes Frameset Frame WW Custom TI Frame Based on Salsa Blackborow GX Eagle...

How many gears can a single 1 x 5 PEEK rod produce?

Thank you. Great suggestions. #1 - I had already considered, #2 - I will use your suggestion, #3 - My heart belongs to titanium for this build.

Update 1 Today I'm working on the preliminary frame geometry for Pushkar, starting my build document, and compiling a component list. Taking all my thoughts and chicken scratch post-it notes and organizing them into a coherent plan. More to follow. Michael

The Helios is a great looking bike, so nice and clean with integrated battery and internal cables.

Yes - Pushkar now has / will soon have the ability to 3d print cases and he has a US battery source for custom packs.

Planned drive train is the Bafang Ultra with Archon X1 (1000w ver) with a gates belt and an IGH. When I started dreaming of my perfect build, Rohloff was my choice, but I'm now seriously considering the Kindernay. Battery plan is a custom case that sits behind the seat-tube. The goal is a 52v...

The frame is not built yet, still working on the final frame design with Pushkar, which will be based off the two pictures in the OP.
