Edwin,

I’m jumping in here after following this thread - the fr8 looks great! We’re

looks like converting one with a bafang kit or similar wouldn’t be too 
difficult.

Patrick,

much better service (Bikeflights took close to a month to arrange paperwork 
before they could be dispatched). 

Dunedin is a wonderful city  named for the Gaelic word for Edinburgh , Dùn 
Èideann - which is presumably where Tolkien borrowed Dunedain from...
