    In Danger of going over to Dark Side

    Bought a Marin Larkspur from a friend of mine. He only used it a few times. The 'hairs' are still on the tyres. Love the 24 gears - wish there were 30. 12kg. for £100.

    Fitted a DNP 7 speed freewheel 11-32T about two months ago. Must admit some of the teeth looked like they had been cut with an anglegrinder. But fitted anyway with 7 speed nexus twist shift. Everything O.K. 11T gear was grindy no matter what the adjustment. But from previous forum searches...

    My Dilhemma

    Since entering the world of pedelecs - i have covered almost 2000 miles on my trusty Tesco Hopper folder. I bought this bike as i live 500yds from that store, and thinking after day one it could end up on e-bay or a skip. However, it has served me very well considering it might not be fitted...

    Argyll Forest Park

    Took a few days across to Lochgoilhead, for a cycle around the loch.. Weather was a bit misty with low cloud, but not cold. Discovered the true meaning of Steep - but very enjoyable. Some slopes did have me pushing the bike. Maybe asking too much for a little town folder. Very beautiful and...
