actually I quite like the matt black base frame.

lol. saddle's ok.

Dave, re Levo upgrade - is this you? https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/levo-from-evans-cycles/#post-10586419 - Matt

Has anyone priced up the upgrades (dropper brakes drivetrain forks shock.. yeah it's a long list) needed to make a base model Levo a capable trail bike, vs buying one of the pricier models? Reasoning: I don't need the 700wH battery. The carbon frame is nice but not a must have.

yup you absolutely need pitzips. all the same I find it's a case of wet from the inside or wet from the outside. main thing is to stay warm, dry is less important though linked of course.

can you give specific examples with the 2020s?

only a matter of time I hope.

I've read a few times the "external" version of the battery is smaller and lighter. yeah it has a certain look but not a deal breaker for me.

most you can do yourself. the first time you have to buy the tools, which will probably cost a few quid but less than having a shop do it. after that it's free. then you get to know your bike better, you build the bike you want, you know it's done properly, you don't have to schlep about in...

do you mean without? or you mean frame only? can they not do that?

I don't think it needs an internal battery, I like its hidden from crud but easily swappable, a generic part, and not weakening the end of the tube. I'd like to see an e-trail bike from Intense. And Evil.

you probably do more miles than on a regular bike, and even if not those you do are under more power. you'll probably need to change your chain too. it's not a warranty issue. chains cassettes chainrings are consumables just like brake pads. good job on riding it lots and wearing it out!

I like how they placed an external battery into the downtube behind a door. Genius but obvious!

Looks fun to me but it's 7 big ones. Add to that the lower prices some good bikes have that are not in the spotlight . @skypickle Tell us!

I'm doing a bike test on Monday lunchtime, probably mostly around Leith & Holmbury classics, over to Pitch & Winterfold if there's time & energy. Ping me on a conversation if anyone fancies it. Got a chest infection so pace will be relaxed. Singletrack rather than loony gnarly stuff. Might be...

Is it plausible?

I fancy a go on a Habit. Any dealers in Surrey?

Habit sits in the Levo space. Looks OK to me. Bosch bikes don't seem to bother with a shroud/external casing for the motor, which seems to be a crud bucket on the Levo**. (Winter is coming ...) ** see

that looks sweet chaps.

Sweet, I'm only a few miles from Reigate ... but I'm a M. I do like that deep blue.
