Been a while since this thread had any input so though I would post pic of MTB upgrade. Decided to have Shimano Deore 11 speed 1X on my Cove Hummer MTB so had transplant done this week. Frame is polished raw titanium. Brakes are Hope Tech twin pot hydraulics. Chris King headset and Thomson seat post and stem. Wheels are Mavic X719.

At my age, I don't have the 'get up and go' that I used to, so I'm using a bicycle with an eBike conversion. I still have to pedal though :).

E bikes are a great way to keep cycling. I have a number of friends who bought them and I certainly see plenty when I am out cycling. I am sure I will end up with one one day when I run out of puff!

But you've since come to your senses - so going over the handlebars and landing on your head had a positive outcome then :ner:

Its been a while since I've looked at this tread as well :-)

That's a very nice looking bike, I do love titanium!

I've really not done much cycling at all this year, I did buy myself a new On One Big dog https://www.planetx.co.uk/products/o...-mountain-bike back in spring with the intention of riding a lot more only to then move into gym & hiking a lot more. Its been hanging in the garage for best part of 6 months so I really should get it out over xmas for a spin.
