    Why thank you sir. Also i'll add to this, do you or anyone else for that matter know of an LBS in Hull that would do ANYTHING to an old bike and not get arsey with you. This is why I do it all myself. Remember when I walked into the LBS near us with my Pace frame? That was hilarious. I needed...

    Oh, you are in the Netherlands? Cool, I have family over there, born and bred Dutch hehe. I have a new job and it takes an hour to get there in 10-20mph traffic with stop / start at lights all the way. It will take half of this time if I go on a push bike. Even less with a motor. I asked about...

    And here;s another thing. As I have had a full car licence sicne 1987 and a full motorcycle licence since 1991 it looks like I can use a motor over 250w legally in the UK. Can anyone confirm this? I had a few can's last night so I may need to be corrected hehe Surely if I'm used to riding a...

    I can assure you I'm not looking for a scooter. I want to add an electric conversion kit of some sort to my 1988 Specialized Rockhopper. Can you post any information on the mid motor packages you would recommnend.

    I have my heart set on a 26" front wheel kit for my old Rockhopper to be honest. I'm wanting something very simple to fit and maintain. Do you know of any quality front wheel kits?

    Just to confirm, this is for a road only commuter bike to cover a 4 mile journey to work. As I'm an office worker I need to arrive in a non sweaty and out of breath condition hehe.

    Hi all I'm considering adding an E-Bike kit to a 1988 Specialized Rockhopper (Blue) which is to be used as my daily commuter. As I'm office based I'm trying to not arrive at work all sweaty etc. I know some of you have added E-bike kit's to your rides so can you help a brother out a little and...

    Wanted Kona A'ha Hot or Humu (Humuhumunukunukuapua'a) 1995 - 1998

    Beautiful. I'm still struggling to find an older Humu frame for sale at a fair price. I'm not wanting on for free obviously but I do feel that some sellers are asking too much. The search continues.

    What are your retro bike plans for 2024.

    Sell everything apart from one Explosif and my daily basher which is a 1965 Moulton Deluxe. I've gotten so far away from my biking it's a disgrace. I don't ride, I don't build and I have a loft and garage full of bikes, frames, wheels and components. It all has to go.
