    Beware the liberal fascists - people who aim to 'save' us by controlling everything we do. Saying that, I put up with a brain bucket 99% of the time and have become use to wearing one. I'm old & wise enough to make my own choices, mostly my rides aren't planed, there usually over 20 miles and...

    What do you think this is worth?

    I don't know this brand (F4W) but CJDC's bike at first glance looks a better bet as its nearly new. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/fast4ward-peak-for-sale.22602/
