Bike suitability for conversion

Hi, I was wondering what the thoughts of this forum are on the below bike as a candidate for an ebike conversion with a bbs02.

The BBS02 and battery would fit on that with no problem. However that bike is on the lower end and if you're going to spend $600-700+ on the kit alone, you might be happier starting with a nicer bike.

One man's lower end is another man's treasure.

$200 Australian is about $150 USD, so it seems like a fair price, but not a great bargain. I'd plan on a suspension seatpost as a future upgrade, and making sure the frame can accommodate one, but still allow the right seat height for your riding. Everything else looks good. :thumb:
