With my other hobby being astronomy there is bit of tradition in our forums for unboxing new kit, so excuse the images.





Ok so now for this fat b'tard to feel some pain and start doing some miles.

    Unboxing is cool! Most people don't get their bikes in a box I guess!

    looks real nice bike

    Get some nice pics up once its out up and running.

    Great feeling waiting for the delivery man- seeing them turn up and getting the box.

    My wife recently bought one of these as her first road bike and couldn't be more delighted with it. Enjoy!

    I have 12" dob and I am not afraid to use it, Lightbridge. I also live in countryside with great skies can see the milky way on a clear night without any difficulty sit out for half an hour and wow it just gets brighter and brighter.

    Nice one, owner of a Skywatcher 10" Dob & assorted bits here. Cycling and Astronomy...one for days the other for (clear) nights. Best of both worlds so to speak !

  • got to be honest, i thought you had bought a really really really tiny little bike looking at the second picture.

    Its a 53cm.

    Think box is very big so it is much like the caravan sketch in father ted this cow is small and that cow is just very far away.
  • Welcome to the forum, nice bike and enjoy the suffering!
