The new bike

[stumpy150]

ok it's not an e bike -----

I went out and spent some cash at the LBS approx 6 weeks ago

Got myself a carbon fibre road bike - and have found out it's a lot harder to pedal than the Ebike but just as much fun

Did my first full 50 Mile un aided Elec free ride on Saturday and are now suffering from aching muscles I never realised I had

It doesn't take long for your muscles to adjust. After you've ridden a road bike for a bit, it's surprising how easy an ebike is.

Nice bike, they're flying machines apart from on the hills, although short sharp hills can be blasted up amazingly easily.

That's a very well thought out bike: Nice flat bottle mount for a Shark battery; normal drop-outs for a Q128C motor; hollowtech crank for easy PAS installation. Yes, that could be a flyer!

Those boots seem a bit out of place. Why spend all that money to save 1kg of bike weight, then add 1kg of boots?

I think once we install the 6-stone something 12-year-old it will be a flyer.

They are quite light those Scarpa boots, a shame they don't come with much tread on the soles though.
