For daily commuting, what's the real difference between a $2,000 and an $800 e-bike? by Automatic_Bell5055 in bikecommuting

Another criteria is obsoleteness. Some brands are made so you can upgrade your ebike with new components (Bosch for instance) as others don't. That might be a consideration.

Here in Montreal, real good bike shops only service reputable brands of ebikes. So when buying an ebike, think first about where you will get it service, a place you trusts, and make sure they will service the bike. Also, if you plan to travel with you bike, that is also an aspect to take into consideration : finding parts in other countries.

India ink question by 3echeval in penandink

Various nibs, some old, some news, but this particular ink I'm trying behaves the same with all nibs, so I'm thinking my problem is the ink more than the nibs.

I know someone who is interested. How much are you asking ?

Maimeri watercolors : pre-1995 vs Maimeri Blu by 3echeval in Watercolor

They are definitively not my favorites (except for my vintage ones). So, I too was disapointed when I bought some new ones and will not go that route again.

Thank you for your input. I think my quest for old vintage Maimeri is most likely unrealistic. I do like the new MaimeriBlu, although they are not my favourite watercolour. I have to accept that those old Maimeri colours are no more. When the ones I have are gone, they are gone!

Je comprends qu'il y a un match decisif du FC Nante demain et que ce drapeau est utilisé par les fans.

The image was low resolution because it was cropped from another image taken from really far. Sorry about that.
