You can convert a whole bike to electric for that amount. :rolleyes:

I also have a Suntour SP 12 NCX (after recommendations here - thanks all!). My only minor criticism is that it doesn't seem to have any rebound damping - you hit a hole/bump and you bounce down, and then back up again at about the same rate. Which is better than a hard whack, but not as...

Ah, that is the one downside - all the handlebar gubbins. I found this bell sits conveniently lower than the stem bolts. It works reasonably well - just about loud enough: https://www.knog.com/product/oi-classic-large/ Or just mount the bell facing downwards. I can't help you with your other...

Welcome - love the name!

I'm with Gubbins - if you want it to definitely sell, then start very low. You'll get lots of attention (initially chancers having a hopeful bid), but by the 6th day (assuming a 7 day listing) you'll have several solid bidders watching carefully. I've sold motorbikes worth £4k+ starting at £100...

Am I the only person left in the world that just turns their bike upsidedown? :(

Re: price - do it as an auction. If you advertise it correctly (good description - as above, be honest, good images, and time it for Sunday evening) then I can't think of any reason not put it on eBay. It's a market - you'll get what it's worth. Just don't cock up the listing! Measure it...

My point was that commercial interest will centre on car owners first. They're richer than ebike riders - at least that's what the algorithm will say - a car purchase is £10-80k, and an eBike is £1-8k as a random example. In terms of general data mining I understand your points - I write...

It seems unlikely to me that ebike users are an interesting target. Not when every new car comes with a SIM & satnav built in.

Agreed, Ruth! 'Light' in eBike terms is, I'd say, 14-16Kg, and featherweight is 11-13Kg. In 2021 anyway. Pricing for light is £2-3k, and featherweight is £4-10k. If you're reading this in 2031, you'll probably have a chuckle at those weights & prices.

<proof offered> "Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?"

This is very clear. NICE 2010: https://www.evidence.nhs.uk/document?id=1652574&returnUrl=search%3fq%3dpassive%2bsmoking 11.10 Summary Passive smoking is a significant cause of death and disability in children as well as adults, and of smoking uptake among children and young people. However...

Perfume doesn't normally kill. That's the difference. But it would make a fine scenario for a Bond villain.

I'd treat that hive advice the same as I'd treat the bullsh*t on the back of any beauty product from Boots/Superdrug. With care. Underneath there may be some scientific basis, but 90% of it is fluff / guff.

People in the TdF are REALLY weird shapes - thighs the width of their chests, and so on. I wouldn't be suprised if their arses were also weird. Just saying. :eek: However, having just added a Suntour suspension post, I'd say you could easily live without one. They're OK, but not a necessity...

Ah - I meant the polka dot + mirror shades folk. No harm in wearing bright. I have a similar waterproof so bright and orange for motorcycling that I'm usually tail-end Charlie because I can be seen a mile away.

I find padded shorts and cycling shoes are the bare min if you're looking not to wear cycling kit / not look like a divvy. :p Then add generic T-shirt & fleece: - Santic Mens Cycling Shorts - not bad for the price - Specialized Sonoma shoes from a many moons ago. They have a reasonably hard...

Ha. I'll see your crazily expensive £489 and knock £30 off: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Bikes-Mountain-Bike-27-5-Ebike-E-Citybike-Bicycle-Cycling-250W-35km-h/373494606204 Oh, and here's it's twin at the seaside. You pay extra for the sun...

5mph and zero effort is still damned impressive! A Boardman / Orbea / Ribble would need to be going 8-10mph to get decent assistance. Unless you modified the PAS sensor on an Orbea, for example, to have closer packed magnets?

Basically, the trade-off is weight versus power. More power usually indicates bigger battery, motor, etc. And how steep is 'steep'? If you mean in the 10% range then a Boardman (Fazua-based), Orbea, or Ribble (ebikemotion-based) will be good choices in terms of weight - around 15-16Kg, and in...
