    Fast electric bike LANERI FALCON 250L

    Jeeze.... That is hideous. Without doubt the worst designed Ebike i've ever seen. Pretty obvious that Vic is a spammer as well.

    Courier work

    I dont think the OP needs an electric bike...... But i do think kits are where the smart money goes, due to a lot of ready made Ebikes being so overpriced. If Cytronex were to fit that bike with one of their cheap ass front hub motor kits, that probably only costs them a couple of hundred quid...

    Courier work

    In your work as a courier I would probably go for a hybrid, no suspension, and hub gears. I noticed this on HotUKDeals the other day. Has Nexus 8 speed, may or may not suit you...... only goes up to a size large though, you might want a XL being 6'5", but its certainly a good deal at £299...

    Courier work

    Seeing as you're already working as a cycle courier, i would have thought you're quite a fit cyclist. Using an Ebike for your job could be more of a hindrance than a help. You have to weigh up the downsides of using an Ebike. They're heavy, more things to go wrong, limited range of batteries and...

    Greetings from the South Coast of England

    Halfords prices yo yo up & down like a whores knickers..... it will be back at £1K soon. The trick with Halfords is always wait til their next sale reductions, they come around quite regular. Not much use to you now and i sympathise with you paying 200 sovs extra. I use a seat post rack, but...

    Overtaking on the inside or the outside

    Even worse is white British kids, trying to talk Jamaican Patois.

    Raleigh are increasing prices by 10% as from August 1.

    Well i am cynical about salesman and businesses in general...... some are better than others, but thats about the best i can say. No one on here is going to change my mind about that.

    Overtaking on the inside or the outside

    One thing about the Aussies that bugs me is this upward inflection, where a statement is said like a question. Due to Aussie soaps, a lot of people here do it now.

    'optional doors' GUFFAW

    Has anyone actually seen a Renault Twizy on the road?

    I wouldn't know one if it was parked next to me...... because i have no interest in owning an electric car, i have no idea what any of them look like.

    Raleigh are increasing prices by 10% as from August 1.

    Gawd..... I see the poverty stricken dealers are still claiming what little money they make. Maybe we should have a whip round for em. I've been around the block too many times to take at face value anything a salesman says..... and you dealers are salesmen, you're only on this forum to flog...

    Overtaking on the inside or the outside

    Always outside, same as i do with my m/c...... and i've had cars purposely block me as well. Seem to get that far less with my m/c, car drivers seem to have more respect for m/c's than they do for cyclists. I think a lot of car drivers hate cyclists and consider us bottom of the food chain.

    I'm looking to buy an Oxygen S-Cross CB

    I guess for steep hills you may use the middle chainring..... But you dont have to use the front derailleur, I removed mine altogether. In fact i only use the top 4 gears, but it is fairly flat where i live.

    Can you jump with an e-bike ???

    I have an Ebike with a hub motor...... i'm almost tempted to try it now. I say almost, because i'm more concerned about myself breaking rather than my inexpensive conversion Ebike.

    Oh dear...... someones not happy.... a disagree right back at ya. But that's the thing about the truth...... it often hurts those that would like to bury that truth.

    What to do when the weather's too naff to go for a ride...

    The only thing cassettes were good for, was recording your mates albums and taping the top 20 on sunday evenings on R1. Those were the days when we were warned..... 'Home taping is killing the music industry' :D

    What to do when the weather's too naff to go for a ride...

    I've even heard reports of cassettes making a resurgence..... WTF! Now they really should be left to history....... although i do have fond memories of the huge ghetto blaster i used to own in the early 80's.

    What to do when the weather's too naff to go for a ride...

    I gradually sold all my vinyl from the mid 80's when i started buying CD's. Mostly to a record shop in Bristol called Plastic Wax Records. Every time i wanted a new CD, i would chop in a few LP's towards it. Of course, i can now buy CD's for peanuts on the net. We were really overcharged for...
