We need to see a video of this in action.
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2742459/xcorps_action_sports_tv_46_snowbike_2_seg3/ - these guys are using the expensive conversion kits
They don't seem to turn well. Have you see snowscoots - they turn really nice, like big monoski?
been researching making one of these since the OP's original post a while back - you can also use skateboard trucks to connect the ski's to the frame or use a snowboard too.youtube 'snowbike' for some videos.
Evening...
Thanks for the comments again, i will try and get some form of video done, but if it keeps on raining, the snows not gonna last much longer.

Its just screws, but plenty of them.
Juiced,
Indeed you are right. The skateboard trucks do work. They are to wide for normal dropouts though. Take abit of playing with.
Heres a picture of the Scot's little brother. Using the trucks idea, it works great. But its difficult to get the bolts tight enough on the rear axle -

Brill! I remember my Dad making one for us when we were kids. Must have been in the early 70's and the donor bike was a Raleigh Chooper.
Wish I still had it!
ive got trucks,axles,frames.would love to walk up Cairngorm with it.
anyone else fancy making one with the thought of going for a group walk up the gorm some day? that would be a right laugh. Ive got old boards but i need to know if a snowboard would make a better base than a narrow ski. has anyone found out which works best yet?
that's more like it handyman. Awesome too. I am thinking of running two skis's at the front and back, next to eachother.recon it would ride nicely? The other option is to run the skis apart by a few inches, like a quad!
now I know why some bmx's skibikes run chains from the seat stays to the rear trucks.
just got my ski's. 😀
