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.
  • 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.
