Picked up my new ride this weekend. Taken it for a quick spin along a flat trail to get used to being "clipped in" the whole experience feels a world away from my hardrock. It's amazing how well it sticks to the ground.

    Hopefully going to Swinley Forest later this week to put it through its paces. Will try and put more pictures up after. Are there any obvious, bargain, upgrades I should do?

    I would probably go for a wider bar and shorter stem, 60-80mm stem, 700mm ish bars, and possibly a grippier front tyre depending on where you ride. Apart from that, I think it looks brilliant! Its certainly very good value for money. The colour matching on everything is good too.
