    Podgy old git with a stingy budget living on a very steep hill

    Thanks, if spares are no longer available, and performance not good then you have probably answered the question. I was prepared to buy a new one but currently the world has gone mad and a 2 grand bike is now a 3 grand bike so as you say I think it may be best to wait until the world is more...

    New Gtech ebike

    I'm going to annoy a few people, as I have just joined the forum to say how wonderful my Gtech is. I bought the girlie bike version as I decided it was less attractive to thieves and more attractive to old gits who can't get their leg over. I'm most definitely not a MAMIL, more an OGAR - Old...
