Owned from new (I still have the original paperwork, though all motor warranties now expired), this bike has done some stellar service, though has not covered a huge number of miles. I quickly progressed from this to a Specialized Levo, which had geometry that suited me better, but kept this bike as a back-up (I can’t ride non-assist bikes). During that time, it has saved me more than once, when other bikes have had to get services, warranty issues, etc, and has seen some epic days out, mostly on Dartmoor.
I upgraded the airspring last year, to the B1 DebonAir spring (a massive improvement over the old Solo airspring!), servicing the fork at the same time. The brakes got an upgrade, in the form of the Guide RE callipers, and I’ve just swapped out the front lever and bled both front and rear. Both wheels are also relatively new, along with the tyres, having been fitted with the tyres, last year. With the Vittoria Air Liners fitted, these are a substantial upgrade over the stock wheels and tyres.
There are some scuffs, chips, and scratches, the bike has been used after all. However, there is no structural damage, no electrical faults or issues, and mechanically the bike is 100% sound. This is a bike that will make you smile; it climbs and descends really well, covers distances, and can even be used for your daily commute (I’ve used it for mine!). I honestly forget how long it takes to charge from flat, something like 5hrs, but I have ridden the bike for a couple of rides that have lasted longer than that. Please don’t ask me about battery range, it just depends on far too many variables.
