    Do it, follow ur dream its very satisfying :D:D As for upgrades, i dont plan on changin anything yet until things wear out and/or start breaking, its pretty sorted as it is for the forseeable future.

    Actually all that was a lie cause i did change the pedals in the shop from crank brothers to shimano spuds simply because i only have one pair of shoes and didnt want to be changing cleats everytime i rode her.

    first thing is ditch the XDX tyres and pop something decent on there.

    apart from that excellent choice!

    I took her out for a spin y/day afta fettling with the shocks and in the dry atleast the tires seem ok for now, i'll reserve judgement fully until ive dragged her through some of the wet stuff though.

    Im 6'1 and i do prefer a smaller frame for the handling, the reach is spot on though. As for riding, me and a mate like to head over to the hills around castle howard for some natural trails. Its criss crossed by loads of bridleways so u can make any route u like around the area.

    If you've never been its def worth a look we usually have a ggod day when we go.
