    Sorry, another "What should I buy?" thread...

    Just a quick hello/intro!

    Hi all, Long time cyclist currently in London but moving back up north, planning on getting on the electric thing - probably a folder as I live on a narrowboat. Don't want to clog up intro forums asking for recommendations so I'll head over to the "recommendations" thread! Cheers! welly
