There's nothing on the Trek archive about the Navigator L700 "Smover"
though here and there on the net one can find traces of Trek
announcing it, sometimes as the L800. Trek still does catalogue an
L700 but it a Nexus manual bike, nothing electronic. It doesn't even
share the frame of the L700 "Smover", which is common with the L300
(marginally longer top tube).

Nice to hear from another cyclist, Woot.

My point about arrogance while amusing is fully made. Thank you, Mr.
Jute. Mr. Krueger take note... this is how it is done. Not by tiresome
blathering as is your process.

"Tiresome blather" is a phrase we often hear from people who somehow oblige
themselves to listen to talks about something that is way over their head.

Far more likely to be beneath their dignity. Putting on airs without
sufficient cleverness is your speciality. Lots of data passes through,
very little content is included other than tree-tops posturing. Oh,
since when have you adopted the Royal We?

You do understand that your symbiosis with the commander is based on
this behavior?

Interesting Peter that you can equate ignorance with dignity and keep a
straight facer. Now that takes serious levels of pomposity!

What airs Peter? Apparently you decided to play Johnny-come-lately white
knight on a horse, and get revenge against me for who I don't really quite
know. Now those are some heady airs you are putting on, there.
Unfortunately, it backfired - big time!

Just the relevant facts, ma-am.

Oh, since when have you adopted the Royal We?


Its not about royalty, its about the problem with dealing with noisy
know-it-alls, who much to their embarassment, don't know it all.

I understand rage that some people experience after humiliating themselves
in public, and what it drives them to. Makes people say the darnedest
things!

As far as the Middiot goes, his animator did manage to humiliate himself in
public a great many times, which resulted in him developing the Middiot
persona for revenge. I think I know who the Middiot's animator is, and
frankly the more time and experience I get, he reminds me of a certain Peter
unhh W-something...

My Trek is the 3400 - nice sensible road bike. Looks very similar to
that, but without the chain guard. Doesn't have all that dodgy brake
stuff, either. A reasonably heavy stop (say from 20mph in 5 seconds)
only needs to dissipate 3kJ at 600W, which is no problem at all to
dissipate in a pair of wheel rims.

There is a hill here about a km long, and about 7% slope,
and when descending it one must use the brakes all the way down for
safety reasons.
But at the bottom the rims of my road bike have not heated, not even on
a hot day.

I have 3 bikes, all with reliable old steel frames and they all weigh
about 11kg, but I'm 78Kg now, and I have no trouble riding 90k across
town and back....
And during this winter I only rode the bike which has ONE gear, a 44t
front cog, 18t rear cog,
giving a 68inch gear. I was using 72" for awhile, but that proved too
hard into headwinds when riding
up some hills. I am rebuilding one bike with new fangled index gearing
which will allow me the luxury of riding up some very steep hills here
again.

I live up a hill exactly like that. I have never stopped at the bottom
to check the temperature of the rims, but the brakes are always still
stopping me without problems.

I know about bikes like that. When I was at school I was a rower.
Every time we arrived at the boathouse, we would have to build a bike
for our coach to ride along the towpath. There was a huge pile of
scrap wheels and frames round the back, and in ten minutes we could
mix and match something rideable out of it all.
