Need parts for GT iDrive 4.0 - Parts sites??

I am looking to get my old bike fully back up and running so that I can leave it in NY for when I travel up there.  I have broken the rear triangle twice, and have it welded twice by an aluminum welder.  It is good now, but will probably break again.  Here is a picture of the same bike (not mine though):

Does anyone know of any good parts websites, or where I can get a Medium iDrive 4.0 rear triangle?

Thanks,

Justin

I know your pain. I have also been through about 6 frames. You can usually find them on ebay. The thing that is diffrent is the front triangle [size wise] the back is the same except for the idrive team. But take a good look where the main pivot attaches sometime throught the years that connection changed. I have 1 rear triangle for a spare hanging in the garage. Just dont jump the bike and you should be ok. Mine hardly ever gets off the ground now. But it climbs like a mountain goat. Point stay seated and pedal. Good luck and check ebay you may find a full frame.

Thanks for the input.  There are a couple on pinkbikes.com that I have reached out to people about.  Hopefully I will hear something back.  The weld is holding so far, but I am not counting on it long term.
