    Hey all quick question but I was clearing out my garage the other day & came across my ancient Marin Quake 5.0 at the back
    Now it's not in the best shape but was wondering if anyone knew of any sites that might be worth listing it for sale other than EBay

            Oh wow. Such grace. Flatland BMX is like that, but normally faster and frantic.

              50th birthday present from my wife. Useful when I have to go back to the office and avoid public transport. Vanmoof S3 electric.

                This looks very handy. Integrated lights front and back. Sleek mudguards. Overall nice look.

                Happy Birthday!

                    [MENTION=9465]Brad[/MENTION]: Ooh nice. Are those 24-inch or 26-inch wheels? Looks too big for 20-inch BMX wheels.
                    [MENTION=25]charlesr[/MENTION]: yeah, bike is electric pedal-assist. My current bike is pretty good (Alfine-11 based tourer) but when I go back to the office, rather than the fair-weather commuter I usually am, I'll be cycling everyday and on days when I'm feeling tired or the headwinds are nuts (Denmark is really flat but the winds can be frickin' constant because it's so flat, I live near Copenhagen airport, so its open runways, farmers fields on one side and the sea on the other. Like a bloody wind tunnel!) it's will be reet handy.

                      [MENTION=278]gunrock[/MENTION] I can’t see the image of your bike on my phone. Just shows a little square?

                      It’s a 26” cruiser. It’s pretty flat round here.
                      I love it because it’s so efficient. No derailers getting in the way of power getting to the wheels and no creaking parts as everything is cro-mo

                      A 20” was not really suitable at my age I felt!

                        [MENTION=9465]Brad[/MENTION]: yeah, kind of reminds me of the whole 26 inch Muddy Fox from the 80s.

                        Sorry bout the pic, try this:

                          Wow. Never seen anything quite like that [MENTION=278]gunrock[/MENTION]. Like some sort of stealth vehicle! Belt drive?

                            No, it's a chain, but sealed. Auto shifting gears (user configurable in app). My daughter was asked by her brothers how to describe it, she said "God with wheels".

                              Got myself a 2nd hand Brommie, it's for my plane photo's plan. They are on the heavy side though, it's heavier than my Cube mountain!

                              Anyway Aliexpress has a host of de-obesing remedies, starting with a Ti seatpost I've fitted today. That's over 200g saved.

                                ARISE!

                                Anyone watching Red Bull Rampage this year, Godzie and Brendog are absolute mad men.
