It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It's a wonderful build that i think is really good value considering the materials used. I ride a hsd myself and have been considering this as the upgrade now that I'm 20k in miles in.

Might be worth keeping the bike you already have if there's nothing irreparably wrong with it though. Tern makes great stuff from what I've heard, wish I could afford one of their ebikes. Kind of want one of their folding bikes too...

That said, yeah, I can't afford this bike either. Looks nice though!

I would, however the suspension is quite a pain here in the UK to get replaced or to have service by any of the suntour dealers. I'm not very keen on the andros system. And i would love to have a dual battery, as i take the bike touring/camping with my dog so the additional battery helps a lot by being installed already. Otherwise the HSD is superb bike!

Have you considered getting a hard tail?
