New bike, Bosch CX 500wh for £1600

[Streethawk]

I had been thinking of getting a Chinese bike for my commuter, but then I found this deal, £400 off an already great value bike. Thought I should share it as they seem to have plenty of stock :

I have exactly the same bike, bought from Hargroves inFareham, now have just over 1000Km recorded ONE WORD = AWESOME.

I really love this bike just fitted some Ergon GP3 grips which make a really huge difference

what difference do the grips make please?

For me the grips are really comfortable, i used to feel some discomfort with the standard grips after 30 mins to 1 hour. Now absolutely nothing even after a 4 hour ride the other day

Hopefully mine will be here on Friday. Looking forward to it as 8 days ago I moved house, to the top of a hill. I commute to work everyday by bike so I really need some help now!

Is this bike suitable for me at 6ft 3" tall? I can't tell from the frame sizes.

 

[soundwave]

you would be 21" they look small but there not.

I am 6' 3" and I have the 21" frame with the 29" wheels and fits me perfect

They do look small don't they. If I can fit mudguards then I might consider one of these for short distance commuting, instead of the expensive Haibike.

 

[soundwave]

haibike will cost more than a cube or ktm as you pay for the name and haibike parts are expensive.

Cube make one for the front and I have a rack on the back and have attached a rear one to that

Thats what I would need to do, to make it more suitable for commuting in the rain. If I buy one I might contact you for details if thats ok, thanks.

People may say I'm crazy but I've fitted some full length sks bluemels 65mm from spa cycles about £20 and to make matters worse added some Raw mudflap extenders!
