    Cheers,

    Wouldn't mind a Sunline or Thomson seat post and then it's pretty much done.

    The pic was taken at the Marin Trail on Sunday

    It was my first outing on them and to be honest I came away very impressed, the Marin has pretty mixed surfaces, they cope with rocks just fine an dandy, mud don't bother them, they're fast rolling and grippy.

    They grip much like High Rollers, you know when you lean over and get the edges to bite in, but roll like a much quicker tyre, climbing traction is great too, very impressed :D
