Edinburgh Revolution Courier Race Disc '13

[Leaway2]

Has anyone got one? I am looking for something to replace my old hybrid that I use to do my shopping/general run about. I like the idea of the simplicity.
Any thoughts?

I've got the 2011 model with rim brakes and I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Done 3500 miles of commuting on it and it's virtually bullet proof.

It's an EBC Revolution bike for 300 beer tokens so likely to put a smile on your face and be stunning vfm IF, and only IF, you are happy with the sales and aftersales/warranty model.

(I am, I've had three EBC own brand bikes)

Others will tell you not to touch it with a barge pole and will supply equally anecdotal evidence in support of that view.

I have a 2012 model with the disc brakes and love it. Never had a problem with the bike or the customer service from EBC so would highly recommend it.

Are the brakes easy to fettle? I have never had discs.

I've never had to do a thing to them to be honest, so difficult to say. Not had a problem with them and hopefully that will continue for a while!

 

[Leaway2]

They have non in stock at Rusholme, so I have just ordered one. Ill update if I decide to buy it.

 

[Leaway2]

Bought it so it is now N+1 = 4. have not been out on it yet apart from riding it home from EBC as I have no lights for it.
Thanks for all the replies. Andy.

Next doors cat (Stanley) photo bombing.

Hope I see it in the car park soon.

And you really do back on to my estate too

Minor thread resurrection but I've been reading through the reviews! I have a 2011 EBC Courier Race which I've ridden to work on every day for the last couple of years and it's fantastic! I don't think you can get a better bike for the money and I think the paint jobs on this years models (disc and non-disc) look better than ever

EBC have a habit of putting their own brand bikes on sale fairly frequently so I reckon if you keep an eye on the site you could have the base model for well under £300 and the disc version for not much more than that.

 

[Leaway2]

Yes I paid £299 for the disc version. Its a bit heavy after riding the Cannondale but it is what it is. I use it for shopping and general run around.
