Hi from Bristol

[casian]

Hi everybody. I got back in to mountain bikes last year. I'm in my early 60's found it hard work so looked at emtb's, bought a Decathlon Stilus and loved it! But I really wanted a Whyte at the time. It was too much money to spend if I didn't get on with emtb's , but I did and find them so much fun.
So I thought it's time for the Whyte and it's being delivered tomorrow!!!

?? You’ve done well to source not 1 but 2 emtb’s due to supply & demand over the last 12 months. Not doubt someone will bite your arm off on here for the elusive Stilus. Don’t for get the photo of the new one. Enjoy.

Hope you enjoy the Whyte.

All ready to go . Just don't want to get it dirty!!

I know I've said in the past that the lower part looks like a sperm whale. But they do look good don't they . Must be the most eclectic frame design there is.

The looks are growing on me. It's very understated, a classic design!

Nice, where did you get the stand, I was going to make one, but having costed it up, it might make more sense buying one.

Loads on amazon/ebay only about £15

Looks fantastic... Still waiting for mine, when did you order yours?

 

[casian]

I was looking for an e160rs and happened to ring Ace bicycles in Monmouth last week. They didn't have an e160, but did have a couple of E150rs
Don't know if I've made the right decision yet, it seems like a bit of a tank with the 29in wheels but it does roll nicely ! If it wasn't for lock down I would have tried it first, but with stock in such short supply I had to bite the bullet.
I would be interested to hear what other owners think?

Looks nearly as nice as my Merida!

Seriously - nice chariot!

Strangely, I have ordered the same bike from the same shop, but the Guildford branch!

It's a small world!
What made you go for the 150rs ?

I wanted a 29er and wasn't too worried whether it was an s or rs, then thought this might be my last bike, and in the past I have always went second hand or lower spec. So no real reason, just spur of the moment.
