Got it today. Managed to get Halfords to give me a student discount so it came to £477.

    I was originally going to get the Fury until I decided to build my own. Nice bike though :)

    Gonna leave mine on because I ride on the road a fair bit. Need to get some new lights because the clamps on my old set are too small.

    Had mine since last summer and am impressed.Only thing i changed on mine straight away was the pedals.As said before the fork is great,a far cry from the usual budget suntour.
    Enjoy :D its a great bike for the money.

    Yeah the pedals aren't great. Might be my trainers (Nike Air), but i thought the crap plastic ones on my old bike gripped a lot better than the Wellgos. I've half a mind to put my SPDs back on because I'm not gonna be doing very much mountain biking for a couple of weeks.

    Great bike chedabob :). I've had one a few weeks now, and it's a great piece of kit, excellent value for money.

    Dad took his fury for a ride the other night and loved it!

    I'm actually jealous!
