Hi Bob sound typical off you only supplying a product you can support so makes sense local only

we don't like the word "cheap" when used to describe our bikes... I'm getting uber-sensitive about that term.

Paranoia, Bob. What I said was (read my post!) that your bikes were CHEAPER than Wispers, and I don't think you can deny that.

I can understand Bob's exception to the term "cheap" though, it's so often used pejoratively.

Even the Oxford Dictionary is schizophrenic (bipolar) about the word, attributing two good meanings and two bad ones:

1. Low in price, worth more than it cost.

2. Charging low prices, offering good value.

3. Poor in quality, of low value.

4. Showy but worthless, silly.

My OED also offers the adverb "cheaply", the noun "cheapness", the verb "cheapen" and the adjective "cheepish", but makes no mention of a comparative "cheaper". Strange, for it's probably used more commonly than all those other terms.

Im very patient, is Sheffield local enough for you? I can test it on the numerous hills around here.
I dont mind using freecycle for it to go to someone who actually will use it. I hate to take it to the tip to get rid of it.

Well, leaving all that to one side, I'm sure Bob recognises a simple English sentence such as "Much cheaper than Wispers, and getting a good reputation."

A perfectly good word. Like schizophrenic (or bipolar), except not in that context.

btw can you send me details where is your shop so I can come and have a browse around?

 

[mooo]

Yes I can, Im gonna force myself using my exisiting bike in the meantime
Also I need to find out if our workplace is part of that cycle to work scheme

 

[JuicyBike]

Our website has a link to the shop location at SK17 6AL.
To get your employer signed up for the scheme is easy. Any of the scheme agents / administrators can help. One of the largest is CycleScheme

I'll show you the kit just as soon as it arrives. It would be better to talk about this by email. Pleased you want to help us trial the new design.

 

[mooo]

I'll come over the weekend. Hopefully the weather should be decent

 

[mooo]

Just to let you all know a work colleague suggested i change the tires. They made a world of difference to my ride. However im still interested in the trying out the electric kit

 

[stevebills]

The weight of a bike is not a massive concern as I no the rider is nearer 80% of total weight (check your bmi and lose 3 stone)
I do small sprints to build up my lungs and them crusie and sprint again
I hope you fitted slicks and give them plenty of air 90 psi in mine!
I can cruise at 26 mph with slight peddling
