Easy flip, but I suspect disc brake models sell a lot better.
Make the ultimate commuter?
I was looking at this one. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F382774012285
No discs. Anyways I donāt think Iām going to take the chance of having that much money tied up in a bike right now
The one person in the country willing to pay more than $400 now has an old canti moots soft tail it seems, I wouldnāt buy to flip
Buy it and turn it into a sweet commooter
does that frame just flex into that wishbone butthole?
just lettin it ride these days huh
I have just found out that my 1 hour commute is on the highest usage heavy vehicle road in the country. Some of these fukkas in trucks are clearly taking the piss. I got cut off one morning. And rung up the Quarry where the trucks were coming from. The guy on the phone laughed at me, told me I was the enemy and generally was a complete wanker. I am so gutted I didnāt have my phone on record. I had a bleat on FB, and the next morning, this dude publishes this footage of the same thing happening to him, only it was a bit closer. He uses the Rideye camera which has a āblack-boxā in it. Rods footage on FB. Does anyone know much about the Rideye? I have seen some bad stuff about them breaking and the company not honouring warranty etc. Just wondered if anyone had any real-world experience with them? I swore Iād never ride with one of these but I guess If I get killed it would be worth having some footage for the Coroner.
I tested a Cycliq equivalent light / camera combo
The camera wasnāt great and the image got washed out by headlights but it was ok and I understand the cameras are much better now than 5 years ago
Cheers, that was the other model Iād heard about.
I have the Cycliq but Iāve never needed it.

Yeah. I guess if you need it its too late. A guy I know, who is recovering from a motorist induced head injury he got from cycling confronted a tradie who punishment passed him yesterday, and got a nail gun shoved in his face. The cops turned up with guns. And gave him a warning, and told the cyclists he shouldnāt have confronted the tradie. NZ is getting a really bad rep from visitors as a bad place to ride ( on the road ).
Is it wrong to want to buy something just for the pedals?
