Building a full suspension Rocky Mountain ETSX at 72v, bafang mid conversion. Recommend a vendor August 2023? Need motor, controller, etc.

I have had the bike for years. If the frame twists, I will still have avid disk brakes etc.

Excellent! Be sure to post pics as you go.

I've been out of the market for so many years I wouldn't know who to recommend.

What a murder scene lol. I'm hoping that doesn't happen, if I recall they improved heat treatment after that.

Also, I don't weigh 160 pounds so I don't strain it they way a guy who weighs 250 would. But if it breaks I can upgrade the frame, I have all the rest at least. I splashed for nice brakes. And the suspension is nice.

And I just realized it has a 40 mm bottom bracket. Will it even work?
