I just put together one of the ten speed variant of these last night and rode it to work this morning. I was surprised by how much I like it so far.

I'm in a pretty hilly college town and had been riding a used 2019 Specialized Como that had been gifted to me. I had a very minor accident on it that cracked a shockingly narrow strip of aluminum that functioned as the motor mount. Any amount of torque made the crack expand and cause chain such. My mechanic called me to tell me it was unrepairable. His tone was so somber he sounded like he was giving me the bad results from a biopsy or something.

Anyway, that bike was my main vehicle. I had built my whole school and work schedule around being able to bike and I had to find a replacement fast.

The v3 seemed to be the best option for my very limited budget. Assembly was straight forward and I think it looks great. I was concerned about the motors power, but I made it up the hills on my ride to work without even turning the assist up half way.

Ride felt great. It honestly felt better than the Como which surprised me given the price difference. It was also really nice to be back riding something so much lighter than that fucking como. That thing weighed a ton.

So far so good.

Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good animatronic Elvis like that?

My family was pretty poor growing up, but we had cable. Back in the day there would occasionally be free weekends of Disney Channel, HBO and the like. Whenever there was one of those free weekends, my parents would buy a super long blank VHS tape and record hours of random movies. So for years every movie that I watched had an 800 number that would pop up every few minutes asking you to call and subscribe.

Can someone build me an all electric Econoline? Preferably with a wizard painted on the side.

I miss bugs. It freaks me out how few I see anymore.

What isn't the orb? That's the real question.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Your take is completely fair. Parts of the ceremony were great. Gojira playing on the side of the Conciergerie was fuckin amazing. But on the whole, I thought the pacing of the whole event was terrible and lacked energy. Plus those fuckin NBC commentators would not shut the fuck up.
