    Haibike rc29 first ride.

    Another update! Bike has been very good, added a suntour suspension post and 44t front sprocket. The post has made off road tracks a much more comfortable affair.

    Haibike rc29 first ride.

    I purchased my Haibike yesterday afternoon from crank cycles in Alton, cheers Martin. On returning home I had a 5 mile road run to get used to it. When I returned I charged the bike ready for today. After doing work this morning I put the bike in my van and headed off to a local disused train...
