What does your choice of bike say about YOU?

[Gubbins]

I wonder if such a person could answer the ultimate unanswerable question?
Is it as good as a Gtech?

Just wondering with the Bike show coming up what choice of bike could tell people about you. You may or may not know that I am the owner/rider of a Daimler Mercedes Designer Smart eBike, these are unique and aimed at the intellectual high end market, the build quality is outstanding and anyone seen on one is looked up to and respected.

So not knowing too much about other electric bikes could you give me a breakdown of the Rolls Royce. Mercedes, Fords, Skoda types in order of class, maybe start off with what you ride and where you see you fit in e.g. Elite, professional, senior management, management, supervisor, self employed, blue collar worker, student, benefit claimant or housewife.

Thanks, here is a start,

This is a tangent,but anything from Reynolds 531 or above with good geometry does me. The more battered and frankenbiky the better

No .

 

[Gubbins]

Is that a no its not as good or no he can't answer the question?

 

[IR772]

But does it charge the battery when you brake or pedal?

It's never as good as a Gtech..

Is that a designer colour coded chain?

Is that a designer colour coded chain?

No, just a Sram silver number. A pink chain might be a step too far on the colour coding front, if that point isn't reached already

 

[Gubbins]

Nothin wrong with pink... my granddaughter won't have anything else....

I have seen first hand the level of workmanship and attention to detail that Brightonebikes puts into his builds.

Extending the possibilities, and going the extra mile springs to mind.

the tyres are not on right tho

I went to 2 bike shops today looking for a decent mirror that would fit the giants drop handlebars.. Both were literally gobsmacked by the e-road +1, to the point where I wonder if they deserve to be dealers...

Everyone is going to be staring, it's a beauty.

Now I think that that is a classically designed designer classic.

The front gears look tremendously different in size will it do a 100?

 

[Gubbins]

Not sure what you mean.. it's a 50/34 compact double and as for 100 ... if you mean 100 miles on a charge then yes I think it will. Riding up and down the valley without any big climbs I am averaging slightly less that 1% battery drain per mile.. and I am an old codger without a lifetime of cycling built in to my legs.

 

[IR772]

No I mean't 100 MPH.

That looks a fast bike.

@100mph the batt would be flat in 3 miles
