Riding this: :mrgreen:

My new bike

Oh, yes, it arrived today and I ‘ve spent most of it putting it together, and getting the brakes and gears set just right. Haven’t been far yet, just up & down the road to test it, but might go for a short ride tonight.

It’s light as a feather and stops instantly, so I can see a few trips over the handlebars coming up. :shock:

One of the joys of having my own website, is being able to give some link love out as well, so I’d like to recommend Chain Reaction Cycles, for some damn cheap, good quality bikes and a perfect service, and the good fellows at the MTB Britain Forums for all their advice to a lapsed cyclist with a small budget. If you’re in the UK, and looking to get into/improve your mountain biking, both sites are highly recommended.

  1. Nice one, Chris.

    Looks pretty smart!

  2. It’s pretty bright, but wow it’s fast! I actually broke the speed limit coming back :-D

    My old bike is a 10 year old steel rigid suspension-this one’s aluminium and boy can you tell the difference.
