Here's a few pics, but trust me, they dont do it justice at all - shame really! Once again, cheers everyone for your help in finding the right bike for me. In the end I managed to get this bike for £525 which I think to be fair is a lot of bike for my buck!
Sorry about the lame pics - took them in my room. I will get some 'action' shots and put them up when I can. Just cant wait to get out now! Unfortunately, its absolutely bucketing it down at the moment - typical!lol Please visit my photobucket website below for the pics...

P.S I'm running tubeless tires, can anyone tell me if there is a big improvement over normal none-tubeless wheels? Also, how do I repair them when I get a puncture? Thanks again!

I've heard nothing but good thing's about 819's though the 32 hole version. They seem to be a very strong rim. I'd recommend putting some Stan's tyre sealant in them and thorn punctures should be sealed straight away or there are some dedicated repair kits.0

Hi, real nice ride. Just watch the headshok. Can be real tempremental. Had mine 18 months and rebuilt twice under warranty and once with my own money.
I had a F1000 SL (2006) Loved it but the headshok gave me a headache so I reluctantly sold it in the end.
Enjoy it though.0
