  I don't see why a 45km/h bike shouldn't be allowed to use a cycle lane, that's not any faster than a lot of people ride anyway.

  Coming from a mainly utlity cycling perspective (which is where I see the majority of ebikes being used as well), this just seems absurd - 45km/h is way more in line with general motorized traffic speeds (usually 50 km/h in Switzerland). Purely anecdotal, but people without motor assistance are often even slower than the 25km/h ebikes.

• Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

  @e54 my vote is for a rat crosser

  Thanks! Have considered doing a framebuilding course with him as well. Do you need a post-mount or flat-mount caliper? got some fm ones (think 7000) you could have for cheap.

  Damn, that looks really funky (in a good way). I've been using a $7 Deckas NW ring for ~2000km, haven't died yet.
