    This warrants a new post. The other location of this store had a 17.5" Marlin that I snagged (woot!), plus all of the other gear I needed, and I grabbed a picture of the motor on the electric bike that they sell. When the weather permits riding again, I'll probably order a set of hydraulic disk...

    This will be a dual purpose bike, though; heavy trail riding (climbing and descending) and e-commuting/commuting. I plan to convert back and forth on a regular basis. I'd much rather have an aluminum bike with quality components than a steel bike with bottom line components (not even sure I...

    My ass hurts. What I mean to say is, I've been test riding bikes all day. I started at 11am, test riding and asking questions, then driving to the next bike shop and repeating the process. My favorite of all was an '08 GF Marlin for $500...but it was 1" bigger than my size. I've never wanted a...

    Awesome! Thanks. I'm itching to buy a bike now. I'm going to hit up a bike shop next to GT campus, Skate Escape, and probably purchase my bike there to begin my patronizing. They sell BionX and Currie electric bikes! I'm rather excited about that. This whole electric bike thing is becoming less...

    Well, truth be known I'm wanting to double up the 36V packs... :twisted: I figure that I should have two, one as an emergency backup, and by going with a modest 36V pack I'll be able to double them up and burn some tread. However, considering I'll be riding in extremely congested areas most of...

    I'm having a difficult time finding those details online... I'm not going to, am I? I guess I can call the bike shop and ask them to measure for me; seems a bit rude though. As for the gearing, does it have to be a 7 speed when I buy it? If so, that narrows it down to the Gary Fisher Mako...

    Thanks guys! I've not lucked out on finding a used bike. The bikes that I've looked at are the Jamis Trail X1, Trek 820/4300 and Fisher Mako/Tarpon. The latest trip to the bike store lead to concern with the Jamis Trail X1 and Trek 820, the cheapest options, due to their light duty front...

    He did explain to me why a rear wheel motor would be better than a front wheel motor (gyroscopic effect when turning magnified with additional mass). I think I'll be a regular there before I move to Atlanta; they have weekly rides on the Pinhoti trail. I've spent a while sifting through the...

    Continuation from: http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7829 I went bike shopping today. I think it's been 7 years since I last rode one. There's a great bicycle shop in my area that seems to specialize in mtb's: Bear Creek Bikes I asked if they had any experience with...

    Inner city transport options? DIY or not...

    Thanks, Michael! That's a great little piece of equipment. I wonder if it could be programed to upload to a thumb drive whenever one is connected. Not likely, but it's possible. I just don't see myself yanking out my laptop to grab the data or going to the trouble of disconnecting and...

    Inner city transport options? DIY or not...

    :) This place is awesome. I'll just take things in a linear progression. Dogman, thanks for giving me the heads of the legality of the electric skateboards. That just seals the deal on an ebike. Pwbset, I've yet to see a folding bike that I liked and was in production. Care to offer some...

    Inner city transport options? DIY or not...

    I'm moving to Atlanta in 6-7 months and am trying to work out my housing situation; which is highly dependent on my inner city transportation, obviously. The primary options are to live on campus or not. The rest of this post is analyzing the 'not' option. So, inner city transportation including...
