    It is close to Friday so another angle for the CPO to consider

    So what is an 8-year-old tech eBike that is missing its major components worth? 

    Out of warranty, no service history, resprayed but chipped, no battery so I assume no charger, unknown motor condition 

    Must be close to paper weight status  

    There is a similar spec levo for sale on hub incl battery going for R35k

    Sorry,  fill me in on whats happening there? 

    Morzine is a bike park in France. Over summer the ski lifts turn into bike slopes. Ideally you would want to experience the vast trail network with people already been to enjoy the full experience. Plus if you can land a bed in a shared cottage/cabin it brings costs down too. Euro >>> ZAR

    ive probably printed this design a dozen times already - i kept getting stuck with too many tree supports and a k*k finish under the mount.

    i stumbled on Cheps youtube channel and discovered custom supports as a marketplace plugin for cura - what a discovery! 

    Cheps custom profiles for cura are excellent too - my ender 3 has a new lease on life!

    Thanks for sharing! Will make life so much easier

    Knowing how they deal with after sales service is the big plus for me on this. I will much rather support Lyne knowing that if I have a problem later down the line (see what I did there) they will have my back unlike these "big" brands who doesn't care...

    Agreed - any issue you can simply pick up the phone, get through to Dale and he'll answer any query in less than 5 minutes.

    Do I recall correctly that he raced for Honda before going to Santa Cruz? Nothing lasts forever.

    Yes he raced for Honda. Iconic bike too.

    But Honda were short lived in their downhill racing

    You mentioned the word "poppy" earlier.

    The weight of a bike might have a lot to do with that. If you are a lightweight then a heavy bike won't feel poppy. 

    I'm 67kgs and a large aluminium enduro bike that I bought is like a heavy beast compared to my other carbon bikes.

    Each to their own, I guess.

    I tend to disagree

    My ebike is more poppy than my xc bike - suppose it comes down to set up and both bikes designed for two different uses

    In exchange for some beer money...

    Looking for a 650b front disc wheel with 15mm thru axle hub (old non boost), otherwise 26" wheel, or even just a hub if I can't find a complete wheel.

     

    Want to build up a hardtail tail frame so I can mount a seat and ride with my little one. Got pretty much everything else. Ideal will be mullet 650b on the front

    Have a complete wheel - DT Swiss 650b with 15mm thru axle just lying around

    That is quite a machine! (surprisingly not more expensive than the outgoing SL7) I like that they are instantly tangible and in many places, actually available. Many other press releases show stuff that is still MONTHS away! Silly question: Why is there no Kermit paint on the leading edge of the front tyre ?

    I feel like the aero paint is a show of how the frame dissects the air, so perhaps the front of the tyre is exclusive of the frame
