Specialized Hardrock 19" frame. Disc brake only.
Pinarello decals.
Spray painted.
Homemade case. Made of metal. Rainproof. Two keys included.
There's room in the case to keep a battery (13s8p, 104 cells of 18650 batteries) or a lipos in similar dimensions. A controller circuit can also be fitted in the case as you can see in the video.

One of the rear dropout is snapped but with the double 5mm torque arms I've been able to ride 2000w direct drive for many miles without any problem. So reckon you'll need torque arms to be able to mount any motor in this frame.

You'll need a wide bottom bracket (68x122) and with a single chainring. Double or triple crankset won't be able to be mounted. I've been riding this fixie with a 54T front 16T rear without any problems even going uphill, as long as you use a powerful motor ( 500w geared or 1500w directdrive)

General condition is well used, with marks, and the case would benefit of new carbon vinyl wrap cover (in amazon for 10gbp), There's some drill holes in the lower frame tube to hold the controller( in the beginning, before a fitted the controller in the case).

The frame will be posted by courier. Will be sent unboxed, wrapped using foam protection and tape.

Included: Frame&case + 2 keys. The last picture is a reference my ebike looked like when mounted.

The buyer can request me to use ebay to sell the item, and then you'll be protected by ebay&paypal. I'm a good seller 400+ positive feedback.

Local collection available in Brighton.

Any question let me know.

Grab a bargain: 60GBP Courier included. (66gbp if you require Ebay to buy the item)

Interested. Any way you can make the frame fit 200 cells?

Hi, first I want to do a correction, The battery fitted was 14s8p 112cells
Here is a picture of the battery before the tape wrap and 5mm foam to protect it.

So, as you could see in the previous video I had clearance to fit controller and the battery, some space to be able to remove the battery and recharge it whenever I wanted. So 112cells is perfect for a removable battery.

Could you fit 200 cells there?. If you mount the controller outside and you split the 200cells in several blocks of 50cells (4 blocks) , I think it MIGHT fit 3 packs(150cells to 180cells), 200cells I doubt it. But if you're planing to disassemble the battery everytime you recharge it, I don't recommend to use more than 112cells (5.8kg of battery) or 126cells, more in several block is going to be a pain in the a****. really uncomfortable to disconnect them and transport them.

The performance with 112cells was good enough: check the video of speed test 53 km/h = 33mph even too much for the legal speed permitted for ebikes . And I am using used laptop battery cells with a 35A controller.

I'd recommend on your battery pack to have at least some plastic sheet between each string of cells in parallel because your bike is in a vibration prone environment and if glue looses over time you risk to have a big short!

Too bad can't get 200 cells. I'm definitely interested but I have already 4 bikes at home and because I live in london it's a pain in the ass to store..

If I only had 1 bike I'd have purchased it.

With 4 bikes I need to be creative on either sell the bikes (without too much loss) or upgrade them to have something similar to what you've done
