When this blog talks about power assist for bicycles, it is within their legally defined limits and of course encourages readers to check local and state laws first before purchase or use.


If interested in further discussing motor-assisted-bikes feel free to send me an email or if you are in the area of the northern end of the Pioneer Valley in WMass we can arrange a visit.

New Jake



New to me anyway and a nice bike, a Kona Jake cyclocross that has seen very little use. I made an offer a couple weeks back and was surprised the guy called me yesterday and said if it was still on the table, he'd take it. He bought it new online but deciding the frame was too big for him at 56cm had it in storage after one season. It fits me perfectly. Shimano Dura Ace mechanicals, Neuvaiton wheels and Michelin cyclocross tires on a 20 lb. bike. No power assist for this, it'll be used on miles of some great gravel roads nearby to stay in shape.

Update:
The weather here is being very cooperative for this time of year, upper 40's. Took the cross bike out for a 25 mile ride today and it rode great, very smooth.
