Ya, there was no chance of me going for it at 4000, but by the time he got to 3000, i decided to make a low but extremely polite offer at 2300. He countered a couple days later and i picked it up for 2500. Which had me thinking that at the very worst, i might lose a grand in the end. Having o

I watched with keen interest as the price was lowered on that CL ad, since as you know it's very rare that a Rivendell pops up in the Vancouver area CL! It's the one and only keyword alert I have set. It was too big for me anyway but great to see it picked up by a Riv enthusiast. Also glad to

I have many bikes, two of which are ebikes. In truth, I ride them more often than my conventional bicycles due largely to what I can accomplish in an hour of riding in terms of exercise than I can on my conventional bicycles. You get a very a solid work out without the concern for being too gassed

I spend a lot of time on a non-bike forum where everything under the sun is discussed, and e-bikes come up fairly often. The consensus of e-bike riders there is that they work just as hard while riding their e-bikes, they just end up going faster! On Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at 2:19:43

Thanks Ash. So far i’ve found the electric riv has led to no car use in two weeks and i have no plans to drive to work ever again, unless conditions are such that biking is unsafe. My roundtrip commute is just slightly over 15 miles. But its pretty hilly, similar to a fish bowl in having steep

Very nice bike Sky. Sounds like a fun project too. While most electric bikes are not as much fun to ride as a Riv, some peddle assist does have real use. If I ever end up having a 10-15 miles commute, I'd definitely consider converting my Susie to electric. I love the simplicity of a normal

I've built a few eRivs, they're great fun and very useful. The extra juice is why those bars will work for you, it makes you want to lean forward over the front of the bike more. Enjoy! On Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at 12:19:43 PM UTC-7 Sky Coulter wrote: > I recently bought an ebike that wa
