The handling of the timing of the reveal is just a game. It’s up to them how they want to play it. I’m sure we can all wait :) Needless to say they are definitely trying to release a bike that isn’t like everyone else. The Levo SL is possibly the closest.

I saw the test site before they shut it down again. It does seem a little bit too good to be true tbh but it will certainly shake things up if nothing else.

I think they released the information by accident out of embargo and @Rob Hancill is being careful. I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong though.

Pity the main thread on the bike disappeared but I understand why. However, the specs that were seen show a bike that seems a little too good to be true. I agree @EMTBehave, something has to give and if it’s lightweight that could be literally. It does state that the motor has magnesium and...

Thanks for sharing that @Kiwi in Wales ??

Thanks @McInner1 that’s about in line with what was expected with pedals etc. Colour looks good btw.

Good to see you’re able to carry on with this project during all this. That’s a very fancy shock so will be interesting to see if it’s worth it for the ride (both price and weight).

This is why there’s a call for Universal Basic Income (UBI). This could be at a high level temporarily to get over the worst. If we can bail out banks to the extent we did in 2008 (globally, not just uk) then we can do this for people.

I can answer my own question. 19.1kg :) @73Steff updates to the build welcome! ;)

I’m afraid the two aren’t synonymous. I take your point about political agendas and I’m not trying to push hard on that and when I do post anything it isn’t extreme ideology and it’s clear the publication, where it has an agenda, is not radical but mainstream. I’m open minded to ideas, I’m a...

If you think UBI is just limited to caring and progressive politics you should do some research. The concept is embraced across the political spectrum. Many of the academics involved are experts in their field or do you not care for their views either? Who do you think our government will, and...

One of the points raised, quite rightly, by @b45her was the economic implications of this. Whilst I disagree that C-19 is being overhyped (we will have a tsunami of cases over the next few weeks in the UK) there’s pressure on the government to swiftly support business and specifically...

? Agreed! What the hell is that test meant to simulate? Two click hunters driving traffic to their channel? The Santa Cruz guys at least has some level of logic to the test even if one of the tests was the ‘dipstick leaving $10000 bike on roof rack and driving into their garage’. Carbon and...

A bit better Steve. At least you can see his credentials. Information is out of date in a day or two so this video and it’s accompanying article are now out of date.

Please be careful where you get your information. Random youtubers are not necessarily the best place. Particularly when they don’t list their credentials for dealing with such contentious subjects on their channel(s). Clickbaiting isn’t necessarily the driver for good solid information.

Elon Musk downplays coronavirus as Tesla factory stays open amid crisis He really doesn’t need to do this in this manner. Why couldn’t he just give a straight offer of assistance?

It’s an interesting topic this. I prefer the failure modes of alloy over carbon (I ride alloy) but I’m not sure one can generalise about each as each manufacturer has different design criteria for their frames. A cheap carbon frame might not have as good a layup as a more expensive one. To me...
