Have you weighed it? I think weight worry is overrated. Save 100 grams? Have a dump and save 500g

No I haven’t, it doesn’t concern me, never has. It’s a decent build with some lightweight kit and some heavy tyres, but it feels lovely to pedal, so it’s all good.

Out of curiosity what e-bike are you getting?

All your builds are nice mate

That's not a minger is it! I've been tempted but as a confirmed shortarse the one size approach always looks a bit big, shame really as they're really appealing otherwise.

Nice looking the Yamaha although a tad heavy at 24 kg.

But a nice balance of spec/aesthetics/weight v price, certainly for a first foray into e-biking I think.

Certainly is, I have a specialized Creo with a flat bar conversion coming in at 13.5 kg. Nowhere near the power of the Yamaha but makes up for it weight wise.

3.25 on the front makes the 2.8 on the rear look like a 2.4!

Lol, yeah the Xplorer is a nice speaker Martin, and very wife friendly too!

Weirdly, have just been working on this today! With the E-MTB now as my go-to bike, the Mk6 is getting the chop, and this has now become single speed instead.
