NEW Tidalforce S-750 eBike frames/parts for INDIVIDUAL SALE

[Kevinator]

Is everything still available? I'm interested in 2 framekits and some parts. I'm also curious about where in socal. Maybe I can pick up stuff?

[oatnet]

Whups, I see people posted here and are waiting for responses. If you have questions, the fastest way to get answers is to send me a PM. You will find that folks here have 100's if not 1000's of postings on E:S and one cannot monitor them all.

FYI the aluminum frame, with bottom bracket, front deralliur, axle bolt, grommits and padding, weighs 6.8 lbs.

17" sounds wrong. If you are big enough to clear a 26" frame but under 6', this should be a comfortable fit, and taller folks are riding them too. Tidalforce only made one size S-750, and since the frame was never sold separately, they never assigned a random "size" to it. As the late great Sheldon Brown pointed out, because of the wide variation in geometries, "sizes" are not a meaningful way to evaluate frames.

I received my frames, and I'm impressed with the quality of contruction and paintjob. The tubing is monster large on these frames...we're talking girth! My red frame came with 2 small scratches which I believe occurred during shipping, but I am not losing any sleep over it.

This is an excellent deal and I would recommend it. JD was a pleasure to do business with. Thanks for offering this! Anyone who has compatible components on their current bike should seriously look at these frames as an upgrade becuase they are schweeeet and have lots of potential for mods.

Here's some pics with a Motobecane Fantom Elite DS frame for comparison. The Tidal Force S-750 frame looks bigger, but its because of the angle at which the frames are positioned. They're just about the same size, but with different geometry.

I purchased two frames and a bunch of parts from Oatnet and just wanted to add my THANKS!! The frames look great, and JD was super easy to work with. Now, on to my first build!
Thanks JD!

I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but I have a blog about building out my Tidalforce S-750 frame with parts I bought from JD (Oatnet) and Deerfencer1 on the TF Google group.

http://ebikerider.blogspot.com/

It details (almost) all of my work done with my TF from start to current status. After just having a larger crank installed so that I can pedal along better with the bike, I'm about to install the 72V controller and install the rear e-bikekit.com 500W motor along with disk brakes on the front and rear wheels.

Thanks again to JD for making it easier for us to complete our dream bikes with top quality parts!

Kevinator, great pics, thanks! I have been considering attempting a full-suspension build using one of those Motobecane frames.

Really sorry to hear about shipping damage to the red frame, that means my packing job was not adequate. Can you post a picture of the damage? I want everyone to see or hear about any irregularities, and maybe we can sort things out so you get it in the condition you paid for.

Thanks for the link Ambrose! You should also post it on the TF build permanent thread, as this for-sale thread will expire/disappear 60 days after I run out.

You are welcome Mike, I look forward to Pix!

BTW folks, reminder that I am out of handlebars/stems. Also, I am almost out of brakes and chains. There are more than 80 folks riding one of these frames, I want to keep some for myself, so I only have @20 more frames/parts available for sale.

-JD

[ambroseliao]

It took me a while to find it again, but here it is. We should all probably continue the conversation there!

Here's the red frame. I'm thinking that maybe the bolt in the rear dropouts from the other frame did some bumping against this frame.

I've started my build on the silver frame, but still waiting on some more parts. I was planning to build the Motobecane, but I decided to hold off on that until I can afford lighter components.

[Kevinator]

I did some work on my silver frame today. I posted more pics in the official TF thread.

I refunded Kevinator the cost of one frame.

PS -I discovered I can't safely ship single frames, so I am only selling frames in pairs now; since only 2 frames (out of 85) were sold individully it makes sense.

[Kevinator]

JD, thanks for the refund. I also want to say I appreciate and thank you for trying your best to get another frame packaged up and sent to me even if it didn't work out. The effort is still much appreciated.

Here's some pics of what's become of my silver frame. It has the chainring, cranks, pedals, chain and V-brakes being offered by oatnet. I decided to first motorize that Motobecane frame that was previously shown with my TD frame, so some swapping of components happened and the silver TD is now a 7spd HT hybrid bike for my dad. It has a very sleek appeal to it and rides great.

Looks good, Kevinator!

I still have frames and parts available!

Available for pickup? Anywhere near Palm Springs? Thank you.

[marctrice]

Wondering what size the Tidalforce frames are? E.g. 17", 18" etc.

[ambroseliao]

They are 18". The slope of the top tube drops down toward the seat post so there's lots of clearance when you're standing. I'm 5'9" and it's right for me.
