    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 .
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    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
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:

    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
