With all due respect you have no idea what you're talking about; taking anything on BR as gospel shows you don't know how to check your sources.Go look at a Pinarello catalogue and re-asses.

For a bike at the cheaper end of the spectrum she's quite nice.

with rather less respect, that's why I used the words 'may' and 'apparently' At no time did I cite this as proof, just an opinion, and one which I'm pleased for the op, was incorrect.

all it takes is a little scratching to find out what you need the forum should be used as a fast way of getting answers... as there is a lot of knowledgable people on here..

put around 100 miles on the bike now and really getting into the road riding..

having some issues with saddle comfort if im honest, so changed the saddle for a charge spoon i had lying around.. so its not staying on the bike just there for trial really to get something a little more comfy.

but the new tyres are staying. they are much faster for out and out road riding

Getting a bike at a really cheap price usually points to one things ...... It's probably nicked mate!

So you joined the forum just to trawl up a 6 month old thread and infer the bike is nicked? Strange.

Ulterior motive perhaps?

Looks like its up to the job, a lot of spacers on that Tube there!

Here is a pic I took at the bike show last year of a MTB on the roof of the british cycling team car.

Humber your a joke, I have had a few bikes at a cheap price 100% of which were not stolen. Some sad people on this forum.

Looking like a nice road bike now. Just one thing though, Less spacers more seatpost, Trust me.

Humber you need to get a life fella 100% not stolen as it came from a very secure source

upgraded a few months after this and now have a Ribble New Sportive

Pinarello was nice to start on but way too heavy at 28lbs

Ribble is rolling at 18lbs and loving it put over 1700 miles in since July and lost 2 stone in the mix

just need to work out how to change my name to Ribblekid lol

wow the time has flown by

Those are the Go-Ride MTBs. Soon to be for sale at £100/piece from BC. Similar bargain to the FCX 1's they sold.
