Anyway.

I am thinking of coming over to the dark side.........and getting an ebike.
I bought a new Whyte Stirling and used it maybe 4 times before these problems hit. I am writing this year off and will hopefully be ok for next spring.
1st step......I have just given my nice shiny bike to my son.
2nd step......research into what to buy.
Ribble do a nice looking hybrid which they claim weighs 13.5 Kg.......about the same as my old hard tail.
Gears are Sram 1 x 11 which should do me.
What think the wise old heads of the retired CCrs ?
