Fresh Goods Friday 815: The Removable Edition

Hello, good afternoon and welcome to this week’s edition of Fresh Goods Friday. What have we got for your hungry eyeballs and empty wallets this week?

Let’s just go straight in…

Amflow PR Carbon Pro

• Price: £5,399
• From: Amflow Bikes

This is (almost) the bike that (almost) everyone is interested in. Whilst it is not the eyecatching/jawdropping £3,999 build, it is still a decent value for money eeb. For those not 100% au fait with the Amflow-Avinox hypetrain, this is the Amflow with a removable battery. Unlike the Amflow PX Carbon which has a non-removable internal battery. What is the same on this Pro spec of the PR is the motor (the MS2 with peak 130Nm, 1500w). Which, crucially or not, the £3,999 PR does not come with; the £3,999 PR ‘only’ comes with the Avinox M2 motor (peak 125Nm, 1100w). Anyways, any Amflow has more power than necessary so it’s somewhat a moot point in my opinion. The PR we have here ships with a 800Wh battery. We have asked for the 600Wh battery as well (to get the weight down) and also the 600Wh range extender (to attempt some ridonkulous rides with). Hopefully those items will arrive soon.

Truflo Electron Max Electric Pump

• Price: £54.99
• From: Freewheel

Yet more electric pumping! As you can see, this hefty number is not for taking with you on rides. It’s more of a replacement for a track pump or even a mini compressor. It comes with a 12v car power lead also, as taking/keeping it in your car sounds like a pretty good idea for this thing. It can also act as a powerbank too. In use, it doesn’t seem any quicker (nor quieter) than a regular pocketsize electric pump so it’s really the extra battery capacity and car function stuff that is its USP.

Bryton Rider 650 GPS

• Price: £199.99
• From: Extra UK

As someone who can seemingly no longer operate devices that aren’t touchscreen, I’m eager to try this 2.8in touchscreen GPS from Bryton for following/navigating a preloaded-in route. Features: ambient light sensor, quick status menu, turn-by-turn navigation with OSM maps, training stuff, ebike-friendly (assist level, battery status, gear selection etc), customisable function key. 2.8in colour touch screen. 92g. Size 84.5 x 56.8 x 16mm.

Ibis back in UK

• Price: £TBA
• From: Tweed Valley Bikes

Hurray! No more receiving emails from Ibis Cycles USA with interesting-looking bikes only to receive radio silence whenever we inquire about getting hold of one to review. Which Ibis models tickle your fancy? Aside from the Ripley SL, obvs. I do quite like the sound of the Oso eeb (even if its looks aren’t quite to everyone’s taste!)

Selens 56x89cm Photography Backdrops

• Price: £23.99
• From: Amazon

Sometimes you just have to take photos inside, and under a controlled lighting environment. And that’s what we’ve got these in for. This way we can pretend we have posh wooden floorboards or unbelievably expensive kitchen counter tops.

Yorkshire Rainbow T-shirt

• Price: £21.60
• From: The Singletrack Shop

‘Designed’ by Chipps to celebrate Northern summertime. 100% organic ringspun combed cotton. Sleeve hem and bottom hem with wide double needle topstitch. Set-in sleeve. 1×1 rib at neck collar. Inside back neck tape in self fabric. Glad to be grey!

STW Performance Tee

• Price: £29.99
• From: The Singletrack Shop

Use it as a ride jersey in the summer or baselayer in the winter. Or just wear it off the bike everyday as a luxury-feeling T-shirt. Superior durability. UPF 30+ UV protection. Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) certified production. AWDis’ own Neoteric fabric with inherent wickability and quick drying properties. This colour? Citrus.

Random Eurobike gallery photo dump

Singletrack Magazine Strava Club

• Price: £0.00
• From: Strava

The existing ‘unofficial’ Forumites Strava club appears to have quietened down a bit so I thought we should kick off an official STW Strava club. As our profile on it proudly states: “The world’s biggest clique. Possibly the world’s least competitive Strava club.” Drop by. Say hello. Fling some kudos. All that sorta jazz.

Stale Goods Friday – 2016 Ibis Mojo 3

• Price: £2,649 frame (or £3,739.90 in today’s money)
• From: Fresh Goods Friday 299

Ye olde blathere: “This Ibis Mojo 3 accompanied Chipps on his recent trip to PressCamp in Utah, which is why it’s still covered in dust – he was planning on lacquering over it to keep it permanently on there… The new Mojo 3 is just starting to appear and importers 2Pure have frames in stock (full builds coming soon). The Mojo 3 is a 27.5in wheeled bike, with room for anything up to a 2.8in tyre in there on Ibis’ own wide rims. The bike uses Dave Weagle’s DW Link suspension to give 130mm rear travel. Up front we’ve got a Boost Rockshox Pike with 2.8in Nobby Nics giving supreme traction (in the dry anyway). If you’re not a Plusser, then you can run regular 2.3in tyres (for the same BB height on the same rims Ibis claims).”
