    Old git of 63 with a recent Knee replacement.

    You speak my language! :)(y) What a lovely bike. Being in a similar position to you (a Noob, 63 and trying to recover from surgery) I'm curious, which model is it? There seems to be a range of these Specialized Levo things priced between (roughly) just over £2k to beyond £7k. What was it that...

    Thanks lads. Sound advice to get over to Rutland at Fosse Park & be a PITA ;) :LOL: I'd be buying cash but the budget isn't enormous, £2k or maybe a bit more is about as far as I feel comfortable going. I'll see what's what over there. And a trip to Cannock sounds interesting. @Zimmerframe...

    I prefer hardtail bikes, I also like the 29" wheel size, I found smaller wheel sizes a bit 'twitchy' - if that makes sense. I'm 5' 10", so I guess a medium size frame suits in this case. I might nip round to Halford's later & try the 2020 version for size but I can't see where the new model is...

    I must say this thing looks decent. Pretty much like an 'E' version of my MTB.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. You make a good point about the e-bike, @steve_sordy. It's very early days yet so I'm just beginning to look into the alternatives and I'm not sure that having £500 worth of bits fitted to an existing bike that's worth less than that and could leave me...

    :LOL: :LOL: Yep, you've zeroed-in to within a couple of hundred yards. It was on a run out to Watermead when I crossed paths with the inattentive driver! The most off-road fun I had locally was at Hick's Lodge near Ashby. I'm thinking Watermead and along the Soar will get me going again. As...

    I'm out in Evington, me duck, half way between The Cedars and The Dove if you know this neck of the woods.

    Hi. Mick here, based on the edge of Leicester and just about to dip my toe into the world of EMTB-ing. Long-story-cut-short: Knocked off my Voodoo MTB by a preoccupied mum on the school run in 2015 lead to a spell in hospital + abdominal surgery. A long slow recovery kept me out of the saddle...
