I'm thinking I want to find a hub that will incorporate a freewheel and cranks so I can pedal and drift anywhere I want, not just downhill...

Now how the hell would a freewheel connect to cranks, not a chain... Hmmm...

Yup. Good ideas to expand upon. I need to pick up a frame to butcher.

hence the frame to butcher cause i have the other pieces needed. I could just make my own head tube though but butchering a cheap-o mongoose to use the headtube and downtube and forks as starting points sounds easier, lol.

I'm thinking I'll want my frame to be bigger than just an old frame. I may pick up a cheap Bmx just for the head tube. I have some square tubing I plan to use for my frame. I already ordered a wheel I can use that has an internal freewheel and cranks. I still need forks, a stem, I'm thinking flat bars...

I'm getting excited already. I really want the cranks so I can cruise any road, flat or hilly, and be able to drift it.
