Had a mail today telling me they don’t know when delivery will be, I’ve sent one back asking for a refund as it was a stock item when I ordered. Let’s see what happens next.

Any response?. Still not shipped and no email either

Yup mailed them to say I want a refund and they replied with a shipping number lol

based upon threads on other forums, i'd say with 99% certainty you'll be getting £120-140 on top mate.

Haven’t taken delivery yet but I’ve just bought a stablemate for my Burisch ( which I shall probably now sell )

Just ordered a Haibike Hardseven 7 . Should pick it up in about 10 days time . Looking forward to having greater Ebike range and more control over the motor.

Not such a bargain now this Germany thing.

Especially when you try to return it for warranty but can't

We’ll see on the cost front but I’ve got a UK one as well if I need to return. It’s cost £500 so far and one bought here is £748, no idea what duty will be though

That wasn't a bad guess then

Battery Turned up yesterday and I was out so her indoors paid.
Just got to remove the bosch clip and fit the whyte screw on piece and the pads. Can't remember which way up its supposed to go and I can't be arsed to go and take the battery out of the bike until I've had breakfast.

I'm one of those saddo's that wears toe-tectors and eye protection mowing the lawn, the one time I'm doing DIY and I forget the glasses the piece of binding/lacing wire I'm using to lace gabbion lids down flicks up and puts a nice gouge in my forehead about an inch above one of my eyes! I'm the complete antithesis of my FiL who I found using a chain saw to cut logs up whilst wearing nothing but shorts and plimsoles!

Looking at an ISM saddle at the moment - still cannot get comfortable over 2 hours ...

Worth a punt? All my MTB's have one of these.

Not strictly bought today, but I have put a deposit down on a new bike. Last week I went to Enigma Bicycle Works and took an Etape out for a test ride. I now have one on order with an Ultegra mechanical groupset and an upgrade to Hope wheels, headset and seat collar. The only issue is the wait, I've been quoted six months, worst-case scenario.

To be fair I know it's not their fault and even if I just bought the frameset I'd struggle to buy a groupset anywhere.

My Curtis took six months from date I paid to frameset delivery.

found a 100mm stem to try, decent brand, almost the same as the canyon one (looks great) , and just over 1/2 the price.
I found a few but did not like the way they looked so got this. just fitted it and ill try it Monday,

Still need a bigger bag for proper days out.. i bought a Camelbak one but it sat horribly so went back.

So just bought this Leatt.

Thats a nice looking all day pack. I really like Leatt stuff, Mrs M has one of their lids and we both use their knee guards, I'm really fussy as my knobbly knees suffer badly from skin wear with most pads except the Leatt's.

Grips.... mine are getting worn, my lads were swapped yesterday for the same as these as we both love them.

Sadly i can only find them in red at the moment, but i don't much go for the 'everything must be colour matched' and much prefer functionality
