It's Not Easy Being Green

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts. Had a run in at a coaching day, last weekend, that my wife and a mate were running for newbies. The guy wanted to go into the MTB park we were at. A cocky young fella, with his girlfriend. Kept telling us it was an e-mtb bike because it had mtb suspension. Which was true. It did have Fox 46 triple crown forks (I've never seen Fox46 forks before this) and a fox rear shock. A very, very nice bit of kit mind you. He said his GF was going to ride it as she couldn't keep up with him. His GF looked like she had NEVER ridden a bike before let alone this thing. Name dropped the manager of the park and said he had seen him in there before and he was fine with him riding it. Unfortunately for him, we were on the phone to the guy at the time (who is a friend of ours too) and he said he did him go past him while he was doing trail maintenance and by the time he realised what he was riding he couldn't flag him down and NO, he couldn't ride in there as his liability didn't cover him and he was fucking up the trails. So the kid gave up, shitty, and got out his tow rope and proceeded to get his GF to tow him up the sealed road beside us. I shudder to think of what would have happened if he had been able to go in and his poor GF had tried to tow him up the singletrack trails so he could ride down, as that was obviously his intention. Then I find out he's been knocking off the KOMs in the park on it too. I don't care about Strava, but fair is fair and if you've worked hard to get a legitimate KOM then you should be entitled to it. Little prick.
Anyway after my long intro, this is the bike and is it a an e-mtb? I think not as it's not pedal assist. The other thing he claimed was he could ride it on the road without rego which I hotly disputed too..... I've googled it and still think I'm right.
The bike was a different brand, but looked like this

Straight up that's a motor bike and needs to be registered and licensed to ride it.

Simple. Call the cops and get him done for unlicensed.

You don't ride that shit on bike specific trails.

Fuck no. I went to a large local retailer back home before making the move to get a bike box. Their floor was depleted of the cheap bikes, as one has come to expect in the covid bike rush, but they did have a lot of high end (for their brands) ebikes. I got the low down from an enthusiastic sales rep before I could explain I just wanted a box from their trash pile.

Now .........now, you will get old dodgy knees too - just like the rest of us unless you get some fancy Ti ball joints installed.

I'll admit, I think ebikes would be much more fun if they went brapppppppppppp...............brapppppppppppppppppp....... instead of that sneaky forklift whirring sound and silence. I'm holding out with @moorey until they make a classic eBike series with 26" wheels and 1 1/8" forks :D:D:D

Being who he is
This almost as bad as a Melbourne house auction full of vendor bids and is it on the market or off the market. In this case Is it for sale or not for sale? to be or not to be?

I think I have loss interest too....

That seems like a lot of money for worn wheels - could buy new quality brands for that - maybe I just don’t get it - also wondering if I just under value stuff so much - like all the stuff I just sold :(

Probably for a very elite bunch of retro collectors only. There is only so much mileage you can get out of saying that Campag made wheels for the Countach and invented the QR and Wine bottle opener anyhow.

The newer Campag wheels usually don't go for loads of money particularly on the used market unless they are the top end Neutrons or Eurus.
My lightly used mid range Ventos were $150.
