I have an 80s pinarello with all campy and sewups too, but it weighs 20 lbs and has no carbon anywhere.

I am thinking about randomly making an ebike, I think I am going to use a mid-drive but I am not sure if I want a bafang or tongsheng. I am kinda leaning toward the tongsheng because it has torque sensing instead of a throttle

E-Bikes are fun. I’ve had a Pedego Commuter for about a year now. It’s like a cross between a 10-speed and a moped. Pedal all you want, and when you need a boost or don’t feel like pedaling, just twist the grip. Max 20 mph. I have never run the battery all the way down even when I ride all day. The hydraulic disc brakes are great too......

"...1980s Pinarello with full-Campagnolo..."


There is a pristine restored Pinarello (that I purchased new decades ago) hanging in my spotless bicycle room.
I have not ridden sublime tubular wheels in a dog's age, though! That would be a total hoot to revisit for kicks. :-)
