I'm Andi, and I'm from Manchester.

I'm 23, and I've just bought my gorgeous new 2009 Rockhopper Comp in an attempt to get fit and have a laugh trying a new hobby at the same time.

Starting out with some short rides locally to try and build up a bit of fitness before hopefully getting out and trying some simpler trails

your second name wouldnt be thompson would it?

KonaKurt

OK, my turn!

I'm from Bicester, a bit of a flat and dull area! Ride on and off road all over the place. Oxfordshire and beyond! Dorset, Wiltshire, Devon, The Ridgeway and next door into the Chilterns are all favorate haunts of mine. Admittidly, I'm a bit of a dry weather jessie, but a good sprinter.

My trusty steed (affectionatly named 'Bessie' in difficult situations), custom upgraded (almost completely rebuilt) Kona hardtail, and I wouldn't swap her for anything else! (Sorry if these pics are too big).Tends to get alot of looks.



Simple but very sweet transmission.



2009 Revelations are butter smooth up front. I waited 3 months for those hubs!



Note the 130mm long stem, because I am tall.



A nice classic side view, with some dog chasing a bunny in the background!




... and me a few years ago looking hot and lobster red, in Truro.



... and me looking nackered on a hot day near Avebury.




By the way, it's great to see so many quality HARDTAILS here, which I think are frequently underated against FRS bikes. Top Banana!!

Hi peeps,
Iain, Im a student down in Plymouth. I joined the forum a while ago, got myself a new Cube attention so thought I should get involved here again.

Loving the Cube, been on some pretty long trips up on Dartmoor so far, more to come!

Mainly using the bike to get fit and avoid injurys and enjoying being out on the moors but looking at getting in to doing some racing soon. Unfortionally all the dates of races I have found so fair in the south west have clashed with other comitments!
