Hope its all looking good tomorrow mate.
Bumped into a lad with a Scott E-Bike on our ride yesterday. Just about to go down Roych Clough descent. Big fat belly on him and making 1001 excuses about how they are great on hills but really hard work on downhills due to the weight. He quoted 50kgs which I assume included his pies as they are (looking at specs usually half that - 50Ibs / 24 kgs). Whilst I appreciate you do need to give consideration to the extra weight (or you could go over the bars
), I think his issue was more fitness and ability than the bike. Oh, and it was a Scott and it looked shite. Another colour scheme that looked to have been designed by a blind man with a load of spray cans.
