I'll tell you what flecc, I've thought about it. Just keep me supplied with real ale. ;) I did start to take on motorcycle repairs when I was carrying out the restoration work, but ultimately felt that people started to take the pee out of me. Even just buying up bikes such as Cols dealer...

That could explain why I got back so quick today. But no it isn't on the wrong way. :) It's pretty dull cleaning an already clean bike though. :( I have my eye on an old steel framed race bike to restore and detail over Xmas, and I'm just hoping that I can get it delivered in time. I hate...

Why? .

I've been for a ride, and it's come back clean!!! :eek: The observant might notice a new accessory fitted to it. .

As know I do just the same, but had interesting short sharp ride on the Macina Lycan GPS+ this morning. The bike is fitted with the most unsuitable tyres for the road imaginable, sounds like a Land Rover on SAT's, and rides in just the same way, wobbling everywhere, and yet the ride today which...

I reported it as well, but why don't Ebay simply block the IP address from being used.

bigclick, you will find that the tyres aren't tubeless. I initially thought just the same. It actually states 'tubeless ready' What you have probably already discovered, is that the tyre bead is stuck fast to the side on the rim, and this was exactly what lead me to think that they are...

As an aside to this topic, and to make it more visible, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing if the stolen bikes section was moved from it's present location, to under the dealer/manufactures promotions/offers heading in the main forum section. I'm sure that I can't be the only one not to bother...

Bosch revert back to a larger size front sprocket for mtb use, and scrap the Nyon display console, in favour of a simple 65mm x 50mm console for mtb use.

The original rat bike. :) .

Robbie, despite the issues that I had with mine, the system is a very good one, and I certainly wouldn't say that it's a marketing gimmick. For mechanical sympathy and good riding practice on any bike, it is wise to try to select the correct gear ratio prior to say climbing a hill. I found that...

trex, your post made for an enjoyable read, and certainly covered aspects that would never have even occurred to me. The points raised carry across to even my infrequent trips to the local shops.

Sorry Dave I deleted my original reply before being accused of being biased etc. Kvothe, this was the bike that I had refered to. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/exdemo-ktm-erace-p650-450-miles-on-clock-£1350-off.19672/#post-244735 .

I had a similar thing happen to me last year, when someone listed an item using my library photos. This was on the American Ebay site, and the company did nothing to pull the advert. I also contacted the seller, and was told in reply, that if I didn't want my photos to be used, then I shouldn't...

Nice clean lines, and a lovely photo. :)

It seems that we think alike. :) http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/the-ultimate-road-e-bike.19648/#post-244500 I'm also a fan of Specialized bikes, but would probably go for Canic CXC to keep the orange colour scheme.

Steve, you own two of the most reliable bikes to have ever been made. :) Many years ago, I recall sitting track side at the Donnington GP, watching a then unknown lad whooping the backside of some very well known riders, and all were on CB500's That young lad was James Tosleand, and I remember...

And still the 'minor' on going detail of no confirmed bike weight either. ;) The Haibike looks lovely, but my choice would be a high end, low weight sportive style drop bar bike, with an indestructible light weight seat tube mounted motor and battery unit. Range wouldn't particularly matter...

I'd prefer the XT spec and Rockshox as fitted to the Staiger. I'm not fussed about Nyon, and mine hasn't been without it's problems, so I wouldn't let that rule out the Haibike. Simple is often better. The brake disc size on the Steiger is never likely to be an issue, but if it was, then it's a...

Many thanks for the advice TK. :) I'll forward all the details on. In relation to the test ride, I won't suggest that or even mention it, but it is a very kind offer from you. Thanks. :) Letting someone ride your pride and joy isn't something to consider lightly. With the BH, I was past...
