You have to admit it is a dreadful looking beer... Reminds me of the age old joke, "what does American beer and screwing in a canoe" have in common... their both f***ing close to water (smile)And based on my experience of USA beer it probable has the same amount of alcohol in it!

Wow sad to hear that! What a great looking bike!
I've replaced my cranks for a 155mm and is way better now!
Give it a shot!

An early blast around Kielder this morning in between last night's downpour and prior to the expected rain this afternoon ( confirmed)..
The trail all the better for a bit of moisture ..
A great way to start the day .

Because there is coffee latte, I guess we can also have a beer latte?
Is that Jedi's place?
Yes - doing my normal early morning walk around yesterday, before riding

Took it easy coz if I came to grief they wouldn't find me until the buzzards started to circle
A few of the locals were out for dinner

These beautiful autumn days continue. I don't complain.
In my post #16926 on Sat 18th Oct I said that I'd post some pics of John's Amflow that I took on the ride. This post is not a review, just some close-up pics of the bike and a few comments. I rode the bike for about 30 seconds, set to Auto and I didn't even change gear! If you need more, read the no doubt many on-line reviews.
In this pic, my interest was captured by the ventilated disc outboard of the brake disc. We agreed that it must be the position sensor. With so many more points for the magnet to sense, this is probably why the power delivery was so smooth. The Magura twin-pot brakes were very good according to John, very keen and powerful.
Nice door, firm closure. Power socket safely out of harm's way. On my Merida, it is even safer at the bottom of the down tube, but right where the water collects! Amflow looks to be better.
Is that a direct mount mech? Never seen one up close, only noticed it now. Dissector rear tyre, could be better and will be the first thing to change after the contact points.
No cables through the headset, good!
John reported no issues or expressed dissatisfaction with the fork during the ride. It had been set by the shop to Amflow's recommended settings for John's riding weight (fork psi, and all damping settings). The Assegai 3C front tyre 29x2.5" performed very well as expected, but it was a full block narrower than my Assegai 3C 29x2.5". Very noticeable, especially when you line up the tyres nose to nose. To our surprise, the rims were 30mm internal, same as mine. I pointed this out to the shop and all they could say was that the bikes's tyres were OE (white logo) and mine were not (yellow logo). Hmmm
John said that if he bought one, he would ride the bike for a while to be sure, but would probably upgrade the fork damper.
John very much liked the screen display, the promised tunability, and the huge amount of information you can page through. That included such unlikely stuff as current altitude and what gear the bike was in, despite it not being electric shift! How does it do that? I wasn't really paying attention when they were demoing this in the shop, but I believe that you can attach phones and stuff to it, via that little hatch above where it says Avinox.
Rocker switch Mode shifter. The tiny extra symbols mean Walk mode at the bottom, and Extra Boost mode at the top. Both activated by holding the rocker for a few seconds. The extra Boost gives 120Nm for 45 seconds, and max power. (I can't remember for certain how much but it was at least 1000W).
Sorry, but I have no firm idea what this rocker switch does. I must have been moving my car when that was explained. From the look of it, I believe them to be screen controls.
After a lot of umming and ahhing, John decided that he was going to get one. He normally rides a size Small, and the key reason for this test ride was to see how he got on with this Medium sized bike (smallest they make). He had no issues with his arse contacting the rear tyre when decending. The reach felt just fine, bars a bit wide. He will be swapping the 29" rear wheel for a 27.5" rear and then reconfigure the 29" to a spare front wheel. There is an adjustable frame setting that will allow this without affecting the suspension. He very much wanted to buy from the demo shop in Matlock because he liked them, but they could not match the part-exchange deal he did with an alternative place that also offered to apply the Snakeskin frame wrap.

A memorial to a Robert N Philips on top of a hill , built 1800’s. The stonework precision is amazing and some poor sods had to lug all of those stone blocks up the hill. The epitaph carved into the memorial states…’he will be remembered as a public spirited citizen, a strenuous politician, and a warm hearted neighbour’. We could do with a few of those today!
Lake Federa area is stunningly beautiful and what an amazing time to be riding during the season change!
Nice autumn colors today, but with rain and wet leaves, it was pretty slushy.
Out in The Royal National Park, it was a day for wildlife.
Found this little Water Dragon sunning himself, but I couldn't get the picture off quick enough before he retreated back under his waterfall.
Wallaby hiding in the trees.
And of course ......... Liberace blending into her natural environment .......

@Astro66 Wait a minute; you have named your bike? What other inanimate objects do you give names to? And why?
Is that a thing these days? Is it a generational thing? Millennials, Gen X... and so forth?
What do you believe that I will be missing by not having my inanimate objects named?
Bike, car, favourite spanner, garden tool......
I suppose that if, for instance, my 32" tree-loppers were named "Larry" it would help my wife. When I ask her if she would be kind enough to go get my loppers from the garage, she always asks "which one?", when I only have one pair. If I could ask her to fetch "Larry", she would probably go straight to it without further ado.
For me, naming is a bit of a no-no as I have always been bad at names, they just slide right off me as though my brain is made of Teflon. I might ask for the wrong thing and end up being quizzed "who is Laura?"

@Astro66 And another thing.
Why "Liberace"? Liberace the Amflow?, Liberace the DJI,? Liberace the emtb? None of them roll off the tongue.
If I was going to name a bike it might be more like:
"Barry" (the Bike)
"Eric" (e-bike)
"Mike" (Merida)
And so on phonetically, but then I never was a romantic, musical, literary, or illogically inclined.

However the cars have names.. ..The Audi is Audrey..and the Abarth is obviously Bart..
The now dead Ds3 was Daisy ..and the sons Fiesta is Freddie..
Part of the family ...so they had to be given names
OK, I can recognise the alliteration in the naming convention. I also recognise your "part of the family" aspect, but why stop at cars?My bike is a she ..with no name .

Riding from San Francisco to Sausalito via the Golden Gate Bridge
I don't usually name my bikes, cars, or anything else, but since the Specialized app applies a name, without much thought I created one.
Rainy ride this morning but I was inspired by pic of the day. 
Haven’t named my bike yet but I could name that little bridge “zero Dark 3” ? They get a little slippery in the fall.
