Hi DitchKid. Our bikes could almost be twins. I also ride on Cannock chase with it being local to me. May bump into you sometime up there. Nice build.

I have had an e-bike since 2008 and would not be able to get out and about without it. I have calcification of the achillies tendons which make it really painful for me to walk anywere. I also have knee damage to my right knee. I love going out riding and have always cycled from a young age...
