    Take you're commuting on your MTB? There are people who'll burn you at the stake in here for doing that :D

    And just remember - over here, people think that an Orange is a round fruit or a mobile phone company so they won't understand when you start complaining about them on every thread :lol:

    PS - I commute on an MTB. You need one on the Leeds roads :(

    bigbenj_08 I knew it'd not be long before you started posting in here.

    It's now only a matter of time before you start including your FCN # and commute elevation stats in your sig.

    Shortly after that comes the urge to get a basic road bike, followed shortly after by the urge to get a good road bike, then a full carbon Wilier or similar, just so you can compete in the SCR stats.

    Give it 3 months and he'll be wearing dayglo lycra and shoes that make him walk like a duck :wink:

    :lol: PMSL

    Has been 7 months since I started commuting seriously, and the only thing that remains of my MTBing ways are baggy cargo shorts. I have the panniers, slick tyres, base layers, Hi-viz jackets for all weathers and my FCN in my Sig!

    I have even started having urges to look at proper road bikes :shock: Only thing stopping me is that all my MTB have compatibly interchangeable parts that fit my commuter too.

    Fail. Road bike lasted 3 months.... they are the worst abomination of BSO's ever. I'd rather a supermarket special!

    Which is why I commute on this beast!
