RE: [TF] Re: View this page "Optibike"

Yes I forgot to thank our Joe too :(Sorry Joe)

Big thanks from the whole group for updating & designing some new features
for us all. Mucho appreciato.

The Pictures section is a great idea and soon you will start on the FAQ
page. This is something the whole group can get involved with so we should
start a FAQ "Suggestion" thread soon and address some of the many issues
related to our rides. We should also try and include stuff for the NON TF
users as we can add simple things like Optibike, EV Tech & Team Hybrid type
links (battery packs, Seatpost ect....) Should/could be a fun thread!

Cheers,

Rich

Nice job, Joe! Thanks for doing that. This should answer the questions
re what the Optibike BB/crank look like, and give everyone an idea of
what a serious, custom-designed/fabricated e-bike looks like.

Best of luck to Optibike as these come off the line to fill their
orders. I hope they sell a bunch of them, and keep tweaking them along
the way!

Rich et al,

I agree a FAQ page is a great idea, and like the idea of making it all
inclusive since many of us are riding hybrid mutts at this point,
whether it be a TFX frame with one of Doug's new motors, an SX with a
lipo B pack, or whatever.

As I've stated before, these are exciting times indeed for e-bikers,
and these boards will strive to be both inclusive and discriminating in
regards to what we feel is worthy equipment.

Agree with that Larry. But so as to not make a messy FAQ page it probably a
good idea only one person updates the info (Joe & You). This way we keep it
clean and only put up the very best info we have!

I like the idea of adding a mark to certain pieces of info. An example
would be a recommendation on something we know is first class like MODS,
components and generally accepted pieces of kit we have tested ourselves! We
can have a TF approval mark (any ideas for a name?) to let the reader know
we have tested it with a link to the report?

I don't know...I'm just thinking out loud here,

Rich

How about simply "testified" ? Has a certain Baptist/rapper flavor to
it that I like. And including a link to the report would be wonderful!

[Richard Papa]

Sounds good to me my friend!

Please all, add any suggestions for the FAQ page. Larry, I think we need a
new thread?

Cheers,

Rich

Sign stuff with your initials ie me: [JP] Larry [LH] Rich [RP]. Things like the brackets if used consistantly help in
searches.

You're welcome guys, for my work. I do what I can when I can.

Don't know if google allows any control over page editing and creation. I don't think so. So we'll have to keep an eye
on them.

Optibike owners,
Please submit your photos to the files section for addition to this
page.

Click on http://groups.google.com/group/Tidalforce/web/optibike?hl=en
- or copy & paste it into your browser's address bar if that doesn't
work.

Best,
Joe

[Richard Papa]

Maybe Craig can send some in?

Cheers for you hard work Joe, nice job mate,

Just sent a photo (newebike.jpg) of me with my SWEET bike at an event
this summer. I'll get a few more.

Ok, put two more up there IMG_0617.jpg and IMG_0625.jpg. Both are me
and the Optibike. One with my bio-diesel car, the other with the house
and solar arrays.
