Meanwhile back to bargain buys, how about this

One of the bike shops locally has a couple of these in their hire fleet, and they seem to stand up to regular use pretty well.

Belt drive and hub gears potentially overcome the drive train costs of a mid-drive.

Usually bargain ebay bikes are in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country, with no delivery offered. This upcoming sale has got me searching again, because there could be 50% discounted train tickets making previously unviable collection of faraway bikes and accessories viable.


This sale is a damp squib, not much saved compared to a off-peak return ticket. Single tickets only, therefore discounts only help if you're cycling the bargain bicycle hundreds of miles home. Ignore the "No discounts found" message when typing in the "From Staion" field, and select "Inspire me" for the "To Station" field to see all available paltry disappointing discounts.

This bike is like a supermodel. You can watch, but can't touch ;)

I would need a reinforced concrete shed to keep it in.

The retail on the 910 is £6k, not£7.8K but still a good deal at under three, especially for AXS and perf elite fox.
Wheels Ok, good brakes. Just a shame its carbon.

However, I dont see many here shelling out for this level.

It's no good for conversion. There's nowhere to put the battery, it has through axles, the space for the chainwheel is too small and there isn't sufficient space around the BB.
Converting it didn't even cross my mind. It is ideal as it is :)

If you are in the mind for something the one im thinking of selling is better spec and cheaper by near 1k. Mine is also new.

Not converting it didn't even cross my mind. It's not ideal as it is. Whenever you come to a hill, your legs get tired and you run out of breath.
It is to late for you and me. We are corrupted by the dark side of the force. I was thinking of my son. He is 16.

... but this bike is just to expensive even when discounted. I have a feeling it would disappear in no time.

What sort of bike is that? :)
It has electronic shifters so it must be an e-bike.

I bought floorstanding speakers today. Wife is not impressed. I am on a thin ice here, but pm me what you have in mind. No harm to have a look, right?

For those with deep pockets:

So it shows how much things have come on, I have the 2012 26" wheeled , full suspension Scott Genius MC40 (which was pretty easy to convert to a rear hub drive Ebike with 48v 20ah down tube battery)

Mine was 12.5kg before I converted it (Aluminium Frame)


I'm still enjoying riding it very much, considering changing the tyres to give it a bit more off road ability.

Good point, well presented.
