Mountain bikes
jonathan:
When you say you see a lot of e-bikes in mainland Europe, are those commuter hybrid bikes on the roads, or e-mtbs on singletrack? I thin e-bikes in the city are brilliant but I don't get the e-mtb thing at all. It seems antithetical to the spirit of mountain biking for me.

That Pace RC 129 looks like something I would enjoy. Steel, reasonable reach and BB drop. chainstay could be shorter. Singlespeed option is a must for me. I will have to see if I can get one in the US.

i don't know much about trails or mountain bikes, but i'd like to get a bigger bike for cruising around soon.

Pretty much solely e-mtbs, mainly hardtails too. All the commuters were still on regular steel city bikes / hybrids for the most part. I was on the road bike so only really saw people on the road or close to it but everyone looked like they were heading to some trails. Still, interesting to see, as they still don't seem that popular in the UK.
Allah:
See that quite a few BMXers are getting on the big wheels, e.g. Sergio, Mike Taylor and Matt Roe (who as you might expect absolutely shreds). Cool that they're bringing some of that BMX finesse to the mtb world.
