    Well so far the Avergne-Rhone is a race of breakaways. Decathlon not controlling things, no signs yet of Seixas attacking on 2 hilly days. Looked a bit isolated yesterday, today's long stage I'll have to see highlights, only caught the final 7km, peloton fnished 3 mins back, Baudin EFF retains...

    😂 yer one of those cooker aussies then. That figures. We've got a similar mini trump over here too, minus the orange hair. He'll probably be the UK's next PM the way things are going. He hates cyclists too. Fun times ahead.

    Good breakaway win by Alex Baudin EEF at the Dauphine/Avergne-Rhone-Alps. Seixas and other favs fell asleep on run in and lost 12 secs to Only, Plapp, Vauquelin, Ben Tullet and a few others. Joao Almeida must be sick, finished nearly last. Must have been awful for him. Likewise matt Riccitello...

    Frey has released a new eMTB named Frey Dopamine

    In the UK Vitus came out with the very well reviewed E-Mythique with the Bafang M560 a couple of years ago for around 3 grand. Came out just before Chain Reaction (mother company) went bust! But the new owners are back selling it.

    EMTB Advice?

    Don't Orbea offer 'Mid' frame versions of their EMTBs? With a lowered top tube version.

    EMTB Advice?

    Well the OP has thrown up an interesting split. A quick search seems it's mostly German and French brands that do the full sus open frames. Moustache, Cube, Haibike. Perhaps there is more demand in alpine mountainous regions there.

    I remember that. The one I remember though is when Austrian Anna Kiesenhofer flummoxed the entire Dutch dream team and snuck in first. They blamed it on lack of coms in an Olympic race. Tough.

    And was this 'platoon' deploying dangerously approaching your car in their cunningly designed camouflage Lycra?! Must have been terrifying for you, with those big heavy dangerous bicycles attacking at speed, could have killed you in your delicate little car. Also a little tip, never call an...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Re the light. I have opposite problem with my non EQ version, I don't want to swap seat post (for dropper or carbon or suspension eg) because the light is attached to saddle frame and is a very good light! Wondering if your saddle and post are the same so you could simply purchase the light and...

    EMTB Advice?

    Bafang are reliable & great to do repairs because of parts availability. But yeah you need to be a good mechanic/electrician and I'm neither!

    EMTB Advice?

    Bosch, Yamaha, Brose, Shimano all pretty good & generally reliable especially if you buy through a decent local shop with decent warranty which they all should have.

    Do you get Cube bikes over there? They also do open frame off road bikes - Cube Stereo Hybrid 'Open' / 'Trapeze' frames

    EMTB Advice?

    So you're looking for something like this Moustache open frame, full sus with a Bosch Cx motor? Moustache used to export to US but not sure anymore. Anyone know of a US brand tgat does something similar?

    Saw Sam Bennett was back on the bike in the Heylen Vastgoed Heistse Pijl one day race (try saying that with a mouth full of milk!) he finished near the back but I'm glad to see him racing. They found a heart issue last autumn so his future was/is in doubt. Too early to say if he'll keep going...

    Suggest you join a car forum then. With that pent up aggression about cyclists blocking the road, you'll fit right in. Probably win some anti bike award, give you a little gold star.

    Then give over with this snide hatred of 'some' cyclists. So stupid. We all cycle two wheels no matter what type of bike. All get out into the open air. Why focus on negativity and dividing us up like this. Whats the feckin point? Get enough agro from ignorant drivers - and I am a driver as...

    Your photography has got so good. New longer lens? The compression on the hills and those roads curling and snaking into distance is great. Really shows them off well.

    Why the f*ck are you even posting here on a ebike forum when you seem to hate bikes and cyclists so much?
