Just to say thanks to all that had input into my purchase; She finally arrived today, we have been for a quick spin just to get used to the gears, breaks and ride quality, previously I rode a hardtail mtb with road tyres. This is completely different. Much faster harder, cleaner.

I did read on another thread that showing your new bike was customary.

oh it's size 62, and I am 6' 2" cool or what. :oops:

    That's a good looking bike. I saw one in my lbs and it looks even better in the flesh.

    Now you're getting addicted to speed stick a pair of 23's tyres on it and notice the difference :wink:
