from halfords in the sale with £50 free accessories. got a camel back 1.5 ltr and a large top peak saddle bag

i'm well impressed with it for the price it rides sweet as a nut and the fork is top :)

just got a cateye vectra wireless from my local bike shop wich is nice

any recommendations for upgrades ? probably start with the seat as its pants and i'm nearly 15 stone

thanks in advance :D

    Hmm, IIRC, the '07 Fury was specced with a 180 front rotor :? Mine came with 180 up front and the one they had on display when I bought it did too.

    They haven't done the standard Halfords job of putting the bigger one on the back have they?
    Or have they, er, accidentaliy fitted a lesser component? :roll:

    no mate 2 x 160's on it

    but its now got a 203mm shimano up front and its awesome but not to much

    as i weigh 14 st 8 atm its just right but will lock at any speed if pulled to hard, not a problem for me though and it was lovely yesterday when i hammered around the gary fisher red route at cannock chase
