Well firstly, thanks to everyone who helped me out when I was working out what bike to get!

In the end a good deal on a used bike pulled me away from the pinnacle coldharbour 2

So, here it is!

    Nice, not too sure about all those spacers. But other than that it's a really nice bike, great spec.
    Looks really small though. Are you an Oompa loompa?

    yeah, I don't really like all the spacers either. But I left them for the time being in case i didnt get on with that fork.

    haha it does look small in the pics! I'm 6 foot 1! it's a medium frame - becuase I use it for everything and wanted to be able to do some more hardcore trail riding (when I get a bit better at it!) later, I though I'd take the extra stand over clearance over busting my balls when I come off!

    Also, it look especially small as I live in an old glasgow tenement building at the moment and the doors are massive.

    I'm thinking about changing the bars/stem/seatpost to easton carbon nanotube ones - not so much for performance, more to make me smile every day, as I'm doing a PhD on Carbon nanotube composites. Plus, they're pretty sweet looking to boot : )
