    FOR SALE: Ezee Cadence, quick sale to buy my new bike £350

    Fair play, I don't mind the jibber jabber, I can't follow all the multitude of new posts many pages into threads, some started years ago, but I'll try to keep up with the more recent threads:rolleyes:

    FOR SALE: Ezee Cadence, quick sale to buy my new bike £350

    OK so I'm fairly new on this forum but I don't get why this thread is on page 5 when the bike advertised sold on page 1. It makes following a topic difficult, bikes for sale for example:mad: On other forums I use there's clearly defined sections and users tend to stick to them, on the other hand...

    Kalkhoff Agattu

    In my first post I missed out the frame size, well it's medium (53cm) I'm 5'8" and it's good for me. Earlier I posted a picture of meat flavoured water from china, if that's to filling and you need something lighter

    Kalkhoff Agattu

    Well folks, no interest at £750 ? I know most are on this forum because they already own a pedelec of some sort. Perhaps I could tempt someone to upgrade to a kalkhoff for £650 :cool:

    What to buy. Help please

    If you ever venture near Northampton, you'll be welcome to have a go on my Agattu, ( if it's still here as It is listed in the for sales section ) I can second the Kalkhoff for quality & reliability. I only have experience of two E-Bikes my Agattu & a Ansmann. The Ansmann was a big...

    Is it just me

    I think the smiling is a side effect of my arthritis, I've learnt to keep positive mindset and the pain is not real, No but seriously, I use to feel sorry for myself a few years back, needing a stick while walking. My Agattu got me back cycling and regular outings slowly increasing the miles now...

    Is it just me

    OK as it's the last day of summer:confused: I managed to squeeze a 30 mile ride in today on my non assisted hybrid. Dispite the adverse conditions I still enjoyed it, even my favourite down hill bit normally 30mph free wheeling, the head wind meant peddling only got me to 14mph:( Anywho, back...

    An end to the dreaded numb bum?

    Now that's something I'd like to try:cool: ( given some open roads ) While driving to work some mornings I occasionally see one coming the opposite way down a fast hill, he's probably doing 25+mph but it's a 40 limit and there's always a queue of irate drivers behind him looking for a chance to...

    An end to the dreaded numb bum?

    Not entirely but they do help a lot :rolleyes: for me, as I pile on the miles (20 to 40) were moving away from num bums to a bigger unspoken male cycling problem:( For an issue that we men are reluctant to discuss, there are many products out there that help relieve the discomfort, but it's not...

    An end to the dreaded numb bum?

    Been there, done that :p The Milano works well for me :rolleyes: I know men and there saddles can be difficult to match. I've found the really soft comfortable saddles good for up to 10 miles or so, Much more than that & chaffing becomes a problem. The other end of the scale, racier saddles way...

    An end to the dreaded numb bum?

    This year I've been on a quest to find a saddle that stays bearable beyond 20 miles:eek: Fortunately after a few false starts, I found that my local bike shop & Specialised have a 28 day money back guarantee. Two returns and third times a charm, Specialised Milano :o...

    Kalkhoff Agattu

    Okie Dokie folks, as I'm now getting ready to put my Agattu on 50 cycles for sale board & that means a loss of 10% of the sales price to me! that means I'll get £760. So if it goes to a member of this forum first, my cash price is £750

    Selling and Buying Second-hand e-bikes

    I think Alex has got it right, as a potential buyer seeing how dismal the second hand market is, if my Agattu sells I wouldn't buy another high end bike. If it doesn't sell, even though it's the wrong bike for trailing I'll probably end up stripping it down to bear bones to use it for those...

    Do You Wear Full Face Helmet?

    Well that's where your wrong:p I died young(ish) in a motorbike accident in 1994 and some smart **** in an ambulance got my heart started again :) I had a helmet on back then only because of the law. These days I cycle on back roads, cycle paths & bridal ways so if I come off its probably my...

    2nd hand bike values

    Battery life ! Is this talk of a 2 year life putting people off buying second hand ? Admittedly it's covered less than 900 miles but my Agattu battery is not showing any loss of range and that's 5 years old. Its early days but I've not had any serious interest in my bike, and I thought £850 was...
