I'd like it smoothed out too, but even professional welders argue about the matter of grinding or not. I'm good either way, as long as it's a solid job. But having it smoothed out does look purty.

Aaahh! Yes, that's the only other one I've seen! You Europeans get all the good stuff! :)

I got the 56cm size, and I'm very happy with it (I'm 6'4"). This may be the first bike where I didn't have to pull the seat tube all the way up to the limit lol.

I must have missed it when I was shopping around. I saw 1 or 2 of theirs with rear racks, but not fully-suspended ebikes with frame-mounted rear racks. I still don't see one on their site, but maybe they don't offer that in the US?

One of the things that set the Delite apart for me was not just a rear rack, but a suspended rear rack. My butt appreciates the suspension, and my camera and computer appreciate the suspended rear rack. Less unsprung weight probably helps with the handling of the bike too. As far as I know...

Well, there's that lol. Maybe I should start looking now haha

Ha haaa! It has 625wh these days, and reckoned that if I start running out of juice, I'll just buy another battery and throw it in one of my panniers! Did another ride in the hills over lunch today - this bike is awesome!

Definitely! And with "more moving parts" than a plain ol' bicycle, it was important to me to have dealer support locally.

One more "bad road, nice view" shot. At least no cars are allowed on this road, a very welcome change from the usual around here. Griffith Observatory and Downtown Los Angeles.

Yes to both! haha

I want Daylight Saving Time terminated forever! It's ridiculous going through this twice per year. I prefer staying on Standard Time, because Clock Noon is supposed to be somewhere close to Solar Noon (the point when the sun is highest in the sky). That's why we have time zones. And, the...

Ah! At last! My bike was built the week of Jan 9-13 and shipped by boat - I picked it up from LA Fly Rides yesterday March 11th. I ordered it back in September, so nearly 6 months total. It’s a Delite HS Rohloff, with the GX option, Fox suspension, full rear rack, front rack and bag, and...

You missed the point (speaking of clueless).

Better all those bikes than the same number of cars. I also have to wonder if Tyler gets himself to that beach in a pollution-spewing 1960s VW bus...

What might be the only car-free street in Los Angeles - Mount Hollywood Drive.

The idea of car drivers, electric or otherwise, bitching about bicyclists "taking something away from them" is bloody laughable. Mr. "I'm saving the environment with my Tesla" complaining about waiting in line at the charger, in his nice air-conditioned cage, behind a bicycle that consumes some...

Great info, thank you for posting it! Although your use case is far different from mine (you probably rode more yesterday than I have in the last two weeks), any real-world* battery info is great to have. And I tend to be a bit long-winded too, so I appreciate all the details lol. *Probably...

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it too. It's supposed to get made in late October, and then of course sea shipping takes a while, so I'm expecting a long wait lol.

I've been getting enough range with my present bike, since I only use the max assist for the steep hills. Otherwise, I'm only using medium assist, or none on the level areas (and none coming back down the hills of course!). I like the slightly lower center of gravity without the top tube...

So I booked a test ride - actually I ended up booking two. First trip, I rode an Homage and a Superdelite, both with the Rohloff. I've been a hubshifter guy since I dumped the derailleur back in the mid-'90s. My '90s townie-style pushbike had a Shimano Inter-7, and my Priority Current has the...
