Sadly by the forums guidelines 1997 i believe is our cut off point. But we do have a post 97 section for "modern" stuff.

Welcome btw. Nice to see a older mtb being used.

Nice bike, doesn't fall in the retro category here as such, but it does have a lot retro going for it; bar ends, rim brakes. Welcome.

It had cantis but I swapped them for V brakes which are actually very good and well up to the job

As an E-bike it works really well, even with the conversion its not too heavy and rides just like a standard bike unassisted. The other advantage is that it doesnt look too much like an Ebike so is not such a target for thieves. I still feel like a proper cyclist on this, its alot of funnn also all the ebike parts are generic and inexpensive so I will always be able to fix it
