Thought some of you guys might be interested in this, as I don't think there are too many about. I'm a mtber with not a lot of free time, so i decided to get a road bike, but wanted something a little more fun and versatile, so got this. Knobbly tyres on their way. Picked this up for the bargaintastic price of £750, brand new.

    That's funny, I bought exactly the same bike last week, I got mine from eBay so got it a fair bit cheaper but it's still a bargain for £750.

    Which knobblys have you gone for? I can't decide between maxxis raze or some schwalbes.

    I can't remember, haha. The guy in the shop ordered some in for me that he thought would fit the bill, given that i know fuck all about road/CX!
    Did you get yours brand new?

    Ahhh I'll keep an eye on this thread and see how you get on with the ones you've ordered, this is my first roadish bike too so I also know fark all!

    Yeah mine was brand new too, I got a bit carried away bidding but won it for £590 including delivery which is an utter bargain. :D

    It's currently in commuter mode hence the guards and lights.
  • Hi,

    I've just bought one of these and need to get some mud guards - what ones did you fit?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I got some sks chromoplastic guards, they take a fair bit of modifying to fit though, I also had to buy some 40mm p clips to mount the front one as there are no mounts on the bottom of the fork legs.

    Here's a link to the ones I bought, I went for the 45mm width which is spot on.

  • Thanks for the advice - looks like a bit of a faff bending the stays!
