Re: Re:

Sounds like a good plan mate
I am sure you will make a huge success out of it.
What sort of bikes are you selling?
Sounding like you are pretty enthused for it.
All the very best for it

Cheers man

I’ve bought a job lot of over 100 bso’s And been working my way through them as well as servicing and customising kids bikes. I’m selling 1 or 2 bikes a day which is handy. I’m hoping to be selling new bikes by summer next year but we’ve all got to start somewhere

Re: Re:

Good luck in your new venture Big Eck, always an arse twitching moment setting out on your own.
Well all be queuing up for the "MacRetro Discount Scheme"

Yeah it’s scary taking the plunge but I’ve been doing 10/12hour days and clearing £300 a day with servicing and selling second hand bikes so I can’t complain. I’ll definitely let you guys on here know what retro goodies I come across

Aye, who knows what you'll find. Maybe a decent bike for Velo, or at least something from this century

We've got to give Rob a break some time.

Right V. share your knowledge of Ebikes

Flipping the coins between a Tern, or Larry vs Harry Bullitt.
OR A decathlon Stilus, Plus a hub motor conversion for the shopper.

Re:

I would go for the Larry V’s Harry Bullitt.
I have been trying to save for the non e version for a while, then sell my Big Dummy. I was looking to pick up a frame in Copenhagen, ferry then ride the Dummy with sidecar and then back.
The Scottish government along with the Energy saving Trust Scotland are giving interest free loans for cargo bikes and e cargo bikes. Great long term deals.
Great Facebook group as well.
So yeah, Bullitt has been on my wish list for a long while so of course my recommendation.

Re:

I should also say my experience of cargo bikes is purely acoustic, not electric.
But have been fairly into it for a good while now and have had lots of dealings/interactions with Tern riders and they all rave about them, so don’t think you would go too wrong with either.

Re:

Didn't know people powered bikes were acoustic - have you just made that up or is it an actual thing :?:

 

[Jamiedyer]

Re:

Well I figured if they were electric and mine wasn’t then it’s acoustic
It was actually from a Luka Bloom song where he calls his bicycle the acoustic motorbike. The boys in the motorbike club back home often say I now mainly ride acoustic, meaning push bike not motorcycle.
Thought it suited the current bike situation but don’t think it’s commonly used, saying that, I am sure most knew what I meant.
