Thanks Eddie,

The Flyer 500w looks interesting. I'm currently considering the Moustache Saturday 350W 10S.

Moustache bike come direct from France. I am sure they have some support from UK we were contacted about stocking there bikes. I will have look to see if I kept the information but off the top of my head VeloSpeed springs to mind.

Hi Barclay

Just checking back and I saw your post. I don't know if you got any further with your investigations, but we're currently the UK's only retailer of Moustache bikes. We're helping Moustache set up a UK dealer network so there shouldbe more outlets soon. If you want any more information just let us know.

Regards
John

Are there any issues to worry about with the way the chain contacts just 25% of the rear sprocket, given a strong rider and bosch power combined I'd want more teeth taking the load. Nice bike though.

Personally I would suggest a derailleur option rather than Nuvinci if you want something which is more efficient. However I have not heard any reports of any problems.
