Hi everyone,
Well im 22 and havent ridden a bike in over 6 years due to knee issues, but my best friend recently bought a mountain bike and i thought id like to join him and get fit
He bougt a santa cruz blur, and through his girlfriends dad i managed to pick up an 09 GT force 1.0. Ive only taken it out a couple of times so far on some 'fire trails' but im really impressed with how it rides.
Just looking forward to picking it up and hopefully entering amateur competitions one day if i can get good enough
cheers

You will soon learn to become a very good liar to your mrs... "yes yes, XTR is the only thing compatible... no I completly agree, these companies really need to get their act together and sort universal standards out! Me? I think it's all a money making scam..."0

Lol, so true! My signature says it all. . . .My biggest fear is that should I crash, burn and die, my Wife would sell my stuff based upon what I told her I paid for it.0 -
