Buying a Thok Mig...

[T.A.]

Do it, is really a great bike. well made. do recommend it and dont see many of them yet.
Thok offer 2year crash damage replacment on the frame.
They are built solid.
Check all your bolts on arrival as recommended and get a suitable torque wrench that can apply <10-20>nm.
Check the through axle shaft caps occasionally.
Shimano-Ice tec pads slip stright in the m6000 calipers.
5'11 on a large is fine the frame is at a forgiving angle towards the seat stay.
Would advise to get a spare hanger with the purchase as general postage on parts and accessories is around £20 after (hangers seem unique).
6 months on, my friend and I do not regret the purchase at all.

I see you have a cover over the Battery, what more can you say about that?

...I had an old wet suit and and thought I'd make a cover to keep the water and grit out of the battery/cage.
It's just practical really, It works very well, and once the dirt dries, it just brushes off, underneath remains as clean as the day I got it

Brilliant comment - at least if the engine ever does stop working you will be on the ground at least, so much safer! ?
Do you know anyone who wants to sell theirs?

Cheers

Rob has already spoken to me!
I'm not really looking to sell, so what I'd want for it would make it far too expensive for a used bike.

Hahaha, not quite that much!
As I don't want or need to sell, I'd be looking to replace it with the a bike the same or better spec level.
I don't think now is the time to be spending relatively large amounts of cash on replacing something I already have.

Zim hasn't left the EU!

As someone mentally insane, am I really in the EU ? or anything really ?

Buy new — pay once, cry once — keep it until you ‘have to replace’.
THOK (Ducati) are very good with shipping what you need. Any Shimano LBS can fix it.
I would get it before the end of the year, when “WTO deal” inflate the prices.

Hi, I have a Ducati Mig-S
Im very happy with this bike
Do you know where can I find the rear derailleur hanger?
Apart from the official website, where the cost is 25 € + 20 € shipping
I am looking for one compatible and cheaper

I understand the hanger is Thok/Ducati specific, so if you don’t want to pay for shipping you can get it from your local Ducati or Thok dealer.
