Here comes the summer.....

Afternoon all.

Thought I'd pop in and say hello.

After 17 years of mountain biking I've decided to tempt fate and take a little taste of the Dark Side. I'll be picking up my new road bike a week on Monday, so you can all mark your calendars - summer officially starts on 27th August.

Let's hope so - we'll hold you to that - warm temps and sun from the 27th then 8)

I tested a few including Lemond, Trek, Giant, Spesh, Cinelli and Bianchi. A combination of my test rides, economics, and availability has led me to the door of Bianchi and a Via Nirone 7 C2C with the 105 groupset. I shall not however, be adorning myself head to toe in Celeste lycra.

The new arrival was treated to a quick 20 mile run to break it in gently and it's now sitting warm and snug in the garage making friends with the other bikes.
