1st post, bike on the way!

Just popping in to say hi, I have been commuting on a Specialized Sirrus for a while now and whilst it's a good way to arrive at the office and keeps me fit I find dealing with the traffic isn't a whole lot of fun, so........

After reading a lot and watching ebay for a few weeks I took the plunge and made a purchase, I was watching Rockhoppers, Hardrocks, plenty of Carrera's, Scott's etc but a Saracen Zen 3 caught my eye not to far from where I live so I bid and won :-)

Pick it up soon and cannot wait to start doing a bit of "non traffic" riding and having more fun on two wheels

No doubt I'll be along soon for advice on several things including Hydraulic brake system care as that's new to me!!

What year is the Zen?

I bought a Zen when I got back into mtb, brilliant bike, progressed onto a giant reign now but I still wish I had the Zen, so much fun and a very capable bike.
