Picked this up yesterday.

Absolutely chuffed with it, rides brilliantly, is extremely comfy and has some top quality kit on it for the money :)

    please get rid of the spoke reflectors (and any other reflectors) and get some decent pedals.

    Other than that it looks good. Mine's been superb since January.

    Will do, haven't had a chance to take the Spoke Reflectors off yet. As for the Pedals....well I didn't realise that the bike didn't come with pedals :oops: so had to run back in the shop after I'd got the bike in the car and get some cheap £15 Bontrager Pedals put on :shock:

    And NEVER lean your road bike against a wall.
    Will almost definitely put a scratch on the brifters.... 25% off resale value right there!

    Thanks.

    Now put a car mat up against the wall to stop the brifters being scratched :)

    It was only out there as I was too knackered to put it away after my massive 2.2 mile ride today. :lol: It usually sleeps in the garage up against some bubble wrap so hopefully it should be OK for now.

    Hopefully going to get some kind of stand for it tonight when I drive over to a local Evans.
