Hey guys, this is my Thok MIG. Pics are from my iphone so excuse the weird ghost blur around some details 
.
I've had it a couple of weeks and done just shy of 100 miles so far, and I love it!
Theres not many in the UK at the moment so hopefully you'll find this interesting.
The bike came with two battery covers one in Red, the other black, I'm still not sure which one I like best, I'll probably just swap every now and then. The battery being placed on the underside of the down tube is quite unique and as well as altering the styling of the bike it really does help with weight distribution and the overall handling of the bike is great. It's really agile compared to my old Scott Egenius, very lively through changes of direction and boy does the thing want to wheelie with the short 450mm chainstays! With the Black cover below;
Thok have produced their own dropper and it is brilliant! Ultra smooth and the remote is in just the right place and ergonomically spot on! In the past I've had bad experiences with droppers, having to send them back on warranty and my riding buddies have also had issues with different brands, to the point where we wondered if anyone had actually made a dropper that lasts. Fingers crossed this one carries on working smoothly. The 35mm bars are Thok's own and the top cap and stem all have a nice stealth finish.
It uses the Shimano Steps motor which IMO is the best but I realise this is very much down to personal preference and have nothing against any of the other systems. Below is a shot of the rear linkage and then the battery retaining system. In reality it's more of a protective device as the usual method of locking batteries into place secures it adequately. The rubber strap you can see secures the red plastic cover that clips into place, and the charging port can be accessed while the battery is still on the bike. You'll probably notice there's a power button on the rubber strap so you can turn on the system without removing anything.
In the picture above you can see they have thought about the home mechanic, it's one bike I'm certainly not going to stress about when routing cables.
Lastly a shot over looking Sheffield (from Parkwood), I've probably forgot to write about certain things but I will try to add to this when I've ridden it more, something which I cant wait to do
Cheers, Alex.
