    WOOO! Another brown bike!

    I like that, nice and simples. Does what it says on the tin. You gotta love a bargain.

    You could do to give that patio a sweep though, get rid of those leaves, and be careful with that nail under your back tyre.

    Shiny,

    Let me know how the sidekick rides, tempted to build one into a competent 2 ring jump/street/trail bike :p

    the sidekick is good, a little heavy though. it doesn't have cable guides for a front mech though.

    the bikehut bars and stem are older stock, i found them whilst putting together the january sales, hence the price. they are rebranded tioga AFAIK. haven't really ridden the bars, but the stem is good and sturdy, whilst not being overweight.

    p.s. yeah, it's probably about time to fix the garden, now the weathers getting better.
