Trying to work out which donor bike to use. Narrowed it down, just need to decide and buy it so I can get on with building it.
Was thinking a hub, front or rear initally as I will comute, but open to BBSHD.
Which one and why?
1. Specialized Roll Sport

- Will a rear hub fit? 130mm rear dropout...might be too tight.
- BBSHD should fit.
- Front hub should fit but front forks are not steel so might replace if going this route.
2. Specialized Roll Sport Low Entry

- As above but I am concerned the water bottle mounts are too high for a typical halong/shark battery.
3. Norco Scene 1

- 135mm rear dropout so rear hub motor will fit.
- level bottom bracket so mid drive would fit, but hang slightly lower.
- Steel forks so could do front hub.
4.Norco Scene IGH
https://www.bicycle-centre.com.au/products/NOBI19D151
- IGH in rear so would need be front hub motor
- I don't think mid drive will work, as bottom bracket is not level. It has two tabs that jut out for some reason.
