Gazelle C7 versus Raleigh Forge

[Croxden]

Apologies to the OP who must be slightly up set by now that this thread has deviated so far from it's original theme

I thought it was only my threads that around the Wreakin.

if I were to ask if your bike is really powered by Irn Bru, how much would it cost for the answer

I always think it says something about a man who can spell that popular drink correctly. It says to me he's either highly intelligent or from Scotland. Very occasionally, those two qualities are found in the same person!

So flecc would not 'accept cash for questions'

Not under any circumstances Dave. In 2007 after producing an unpaid justifiably favourable and very extensive review and test of the new Kalkhoff Agattu, it was suggested that I should be given one as a reward for the considerable effort I'd put into that and the benefit it could and did bring for the importer.

I immediately made it clear in here that if offered I would not accept it on principle.

The same still stands, while being a contributor in here I wouldn't accept any gift of an e-bike from any commercial enterprise.

KudosDave

. I didn't think you would offer for one moment Dave, my post intended for the readership in general.

I have in fact had past generous offers when my attitude to them was not known, so it's good to refresh memories.

Gosh flecc, we must be the only ones left.

OK Jimod, if I were to ask if your bike is really powered by Irn Bru, how much would it cost for the answer, I am sure that some will be able to advise on the going rate

I am powered by the IRN BRU and then the bike is powered by me and some Chinese hamsters. So I guess the bike is partly IRN BRU powered.

I also take an energy drink with me called 'Black' It's Polish and you get it in Tesco. It's quite good fuel on the bike.

BTW: You now owe me a tenner.

It must taste awful. I only use black polish on shoes.
