The non-Brompton thread

[Exlaser2]

I tend to agree, we will stick it on eBay in the new year

Someone will get a real bargain with this . 😀

I have to say all AI has done is just made internet search’s worse.

This is not an accident. They basically get paid more if people search more, and they have such a dominant position, they aren't attracting more users, so the easiest way to get paid more is to make people search more, such as giving bad results the first time, so you search again to check! For factual things like cycle mechanics, where you search mainly when you don't know the correct answer, this is problematic.

So, Drago, is the Carrera ID9 marketed as something else , maybe in the United States ? Halfords stopped that model, but is maybe FNhon or Tern making the thing ?

 

[Drago]

Yes it is. Stand by while I wrack my brains.

Edit - the ID9mis a rebranded Polygon Urbano...

I have seen them advertised sporadically in the UK, but you may have better luck in Murica.

There's quite a few halfways for sale at the moment depending on where you are in the country

I have been toying with buying a particular ID9 but have decided that I can't really justify it, so I will give one of you a chance to buy it instead!

On ebay HERE. It is supposedly in very good condition, with 2 new tyres on it, and only £250 B.I.N. or make your best offer. 25 people are currently watching it. The catch is - collection only from Weston-Super-Mare.

A nice bike there for someone.

A nice Intercity disc down in Plymouth

Amazingly, it hasn't sold!

I just found out that a family gathering is planned at Weston-Super-Mare just after Easter...

If that ID9 is still available then I might give way to temptation!

But can you get it into the vehicle to take it home?

I could put it in the boot of my sister's car to take it back to her place in Devon. I could bring it back up here (Yorkshire) on the train at the end of my holiday.

They work well with the train, and when you get to the station they ride like a big bike, and a fairly quick one at that.
