hi all. just got myself a new bike ordered and thought i would pop on here to say hi.

Im from Hull in East Yorkshire so if anyone is also from there then maybe i can join you one day after im up to scratch a little bit?


Anyway ive ordered a Claud Butler Cape Wrath 2 2011 xc and i cant wait till monday to get it.

Whats your opinions of that bike? I paid £400 for it.

    Not too bad for the money! Just keep on top of maintenance and will be fine, and maybe consider a fork upgrade in the future if you get more serious about MTBing.

    great thanks for replying.

    Yeah from what ive read the only downside is that the forks are a bit poorer than they could be. however i hear the quad tork breaks are good? i dont know anything about bikes so ill just go with it lol.

    I intend hopefully to learn how to maintain it properly and also want to get into a bit of xc in places such as dalby forest which sounds cool.
