Picked it up today, reviews were all good & was a nice fit in the shop.
No plans for it as yet as I haven't even ridden it, just picked it up 2 hours ago & now it's in the work car park.

Looks good though :D

    It's a lovely looking thing.
    Wasn't sure on a 29er. Went to the shop because my bike died Wednesday & I have a big charity event in 2 weeks that I need a bike for. Fixing mine seems difficult as the supplier can't be found for the part so meh, buy a bike!

    Tried a few in the shop for size, would have preferred a full sus but my budget wasn't huge, this fitted the bill though. Felt very nice, is decently specced & is in the best colour scheme!

    Went for a ride earlier, nothing severe, just a forest path & it feels pretty good, definitely take some getting used to as it just feels much bigger.

    I plan to change a couple of things, just small bits, pedals will be the first as the current ones are a bit horrible.

    And one with the Carrera (which isn't broken now)

    Changed the pedals from the Trek as they were horrible.
