B&o.. Thought you meant B&q then... Only know what that is 'cos of my Norwegian cousins...

Ipad.. Yes.. A work one ;)

Iphone yes.. 'Free' upgrade two yrs ago

I'm with you so far.... Then you made me chuckle...

Wardrobe... Not got one .. Not even one in the house!!! Lol. have a cupboard in wall thing upstairs which has numerous vw camper metal panel bits (floor panel, inner and outer sill, wheel arch and a few other bits I have forgotten about) and some old jumpers.... i think that was supposed to be a wardrobe!

Handbag!!! Lol.. I bought my very very very first handbag (more of a bag) last year and forgot to remove it from kitchen chair when I was balancing on kitchen table painting ceiling just befor Xmas... Has nice white paint effect on it.. Which reminds me I never did paint behind the various useless kitchen things on top of cupboards.. Just around the bread bin, fondue thing....

Still.. I now understand about the Storck!! Nicely put. :). Had to ask ask that was an obvious 'gap' in my research. Their website seems to 'sell' hills very very well .

I have just decided that I am now Danish or something as I have overdosed on Danish drama as I kept saying 'Hai Hai' to everybody on my walk today!!

Now to improve on my French GCSE resit grade of an E with Spiral.. Gets my mind off 'choices' for a while.. Sacre bleu les bleus! (Eh?)
Hi Wissy,

Sorry to be pedantic, but being Danish, you should know that B&O (Bang & Olufson) is in fact Danish, not Norwegian.

You will be telling us all next that your name is Birgitte Nyborg and you are the Danish prime minister or Sarah Lund a Danish cop, or even Laure Berthaud a French cop:rolleyes:

No offense, but your posts could have been written by a Swedish cop, Saga Noren:eek:

sorry to be the pedant again but I only said I was aware of B&O due to my Norwegain cousin(s) who had one when I visited 20 yrs ago and w dered what the hell it was. At no time did I state, nor infer, that B&O was Danish ;)

Winora were owned by Derby Cycles (Kalkhoff etc) for a while but were later bought by Accell, Europe's largest bicycle group. Haibike are in the same stable. Don't know much about them but I think they are a respected German brand. The page below shows their e-bike range, some oddball ones but the Cross looks nice:

Decision time by 9pm!!

Definitely buying with electrifyingcycles and glad they are not invoicing me for the time spent on answering all my queries which have come at all times of day and night.. a multitude of incoherent ramblings always dealt with professionally and honestly (discount?? :) )....

So.. need some rioja to make this decision and then da ra..... What will I do with my time then ;)

In the meantime anybody who is bored could make their own contribution?

Which would you choose?

Or

B. AVE SH-9 2012 with 300 battery

Personally, I'd go with the KTM, not least because I'v not long bought my Macina 29 and its great.

Larger battery of the two is a bonus.
To me, looking at the AVE, the rear triangle of the frame looks most odd. Dunno why bt would bother me.
