Hi all,

Newbie here, I registered years ago I think but never got round to ever posting, been using my MTB with slicks on for a few years but took the plunge this week and got my 1st road bike, got a cracking deal on it too!



I'm planning on doing the Coast to Coast (Whitehaven to Tynemouth) shortly, need to get some practice miles under my belt first as its very very different to my MTB lol

    Welcome aboard. Nice bike too, and you seem all set. One tip, however, you photo the bike from the other side, so we can see the good bits :wink:

    Cheers.

    Now....
    Valve stems at 6 o'clock.
    Chain in the big ring, and smaller ring on the rear. 8)
    Crank aligned with down tube, or in line with chain stay (but pointing forward).
    White, or light coloured background.
    No dork disc - well done!! :)
    No seat bags.

    I think there are some rules around somewhere..... :)

    Nice bike!! Good luck with it!!
