Arrived yesterday morning. Built it up and immediately took it out for a quick 20 miles on the road just to get used to it. Being a "roadie" and this being my first MTB I was surprised just how hard going on tarmac it was compared to my Pinarello. Stupid, should really have expected that......DOH!!!

Awesome though. Running out of gears on descents will take a bit of getting used to. Comfy though. Planning on using it occasionally to do my 36 mile commute as a bit of a change so probably looking to get a spare set of wheels and fit sort of "halfway house" type tyres to it and swap them over when I want to go off road.

Got loads of questions for you MTB folks so apologies in advance for the amount of threads I am about to post. :D

Also, road bike kits and bling is an expensive enough hobby as it is but I don't think the wife appreciates what online orders I'm about to put in for bits and bobs. LOL.

Anyway, couple of crappy iPhone pics from when I was out this afternoon :-
