Hi i decided a few weeks ago to get into fitness and buy myself a bike, after a long trawl through sites and reading reviews i decided to purchase a Cube Ltd Comp 2011. I'm intending to be out most mornings and evenings on it (not commuting) and also to head off to do some trails on weekends and the odd weeknight once the days start getting longer.

I'm waiting for the bike to be delivered any day now and can't wait to get out on it. Just wanted to say hi and hopefully see some members out and about in the north east, will probably be heading to places like kielder, hamsterley and chopwell throughout the year.

Also will probably be pestering the forum with advice so be patient with me i'm new.

Thanks
Marty

    Oh and a change of peddles as the little bear trap looking things weren't really suited to my size 10 feet

    Are those DMR V8/V12s? Because... erm, I found them to be a tad on the small side too!
