My name is Minh and i live in Hackney, London. I'm Vietnamese and work in an opticians (i just make the glasses) I have just bought a 2007 Kikapu 9 from wiggle.co.uk.

I bought a 50 quid bike off ebay to lose weight, but after delviery issues i started to drift away on ebay and check out better bikes. eventually through halfords and ebay i started to notice the kona brand. the next few days of to and from messages from the 50 quid bicycle seller, i got tired of him not sending the bike and therefore got a new one. now the bastard has finally decdied to send it after getting paypal involved. so i'll end up with 2 new bikes. lol

so anyway, anyone in london up for riding? i am completely new. i have a canal next to me so shall start off slowly on that. i'm pretty unfit so not sure what i can do. thanks for reading and hope you all have a good ride :)

  • Welcome to the forum and to mountain biking. You see how it gets expensive...started off wanting a 50 quid bike and end up with a £500 bike. I had a similar experience when i started.

    Have fun!
