I've decided to sell my Marin Rock Springs conversion after I fell off my other bike and decided that I don't like the pain. I don't use it much now anyway.
It has the Bafang BPM motor and two 9aH lithium batteries in parallel. The batteries are about a year old, but haven't been used much. The controller is set for about 22amps which means that it will go up even the steepest hills without pedalling if you want. It has a secret switch that switches between 15mph limited and about 23mph unlimited. The front drop-outs have steel re-inforcers to prevent the torque of the motor spinning the axle.
The bike itself has quality full suspension that gives a really comfy ride and the hydraulic brakes have enough power and control to do what they're supposed to.
There's no pedal sensor or brake cut-offs It works on thumb throttle only.
You can read my build thread here. It's changed a bit since then and now looks like the photo below. It's very stealthy and nobody notices that it's electric.

I'm looking to get back what I paid for it, nothing less than £1200. You'll struggle to find a better electric bike anywhere without having to spend thousands. This one has real quality and power without being too noticeable. Send me a PM if you're interested or if you need any more info or photos.
