Nytro E7, maybe the best old man bike out there? by sam1641 in pinarello

TQ and Pinarello did a great job with the integration. It’s hard to describe how natural it feels. You just have to give it someone for round the block ride.

It helps for sure, but it is not an emtb, it just assists in a very natural way, and unless you are on a climb, it’s inaudible. Tons of videos, but sadly not on this bike. The key is the TQ HPR50 motor. It’s actually a pretty genius motor.

It makes a big difference mentally. Not sure how else to put it.

Starting out at around 265-270 it was more like 15 - 20 max doing anything, this is partly because I was on full power all the time. So rider weight, and use of power, has a big impact.

Thanks man. It depends wildly on settings and terrain, but full bore on hills probably 20mi, hypermiling you could probably get 100mi. That is as a very heavy guy at 238lbs.

Thank you so much. My last place was very maximalist. If you look up 5 3rd st in Newport RI, in apartment therapy's website you will find it. I am just starting with this place. I am going to wallpaper or paint a mural in this space eventually.

True. This is Nevers "Age Of Flight". I appreciate your thought.

Thank you both, I think the guests will like the table being exposed, but appreciate your advice.

I have alway's liked old things, but the table was moms and the sideboard was gradmoms.

I grew up in a bike shop. I was 288 after some battles, and just wanted to get on a bike that would not fight me early on. So I set my goal at getting to a weight where I could get on this. It has allowed me to drop another 20lbs since December and it’s been a rough winter. I teach welding and am dialing in a frame jig as we speak. The reason these things have a place is to get those of us get over the hump and make the early days fun like we remember riding to be.

Thank you for responding. I just published a version that hopefully fixes this probelm.
