Hey all,
I was on here a couple of weeks back asking about various bikes, I just wanna say thanks for all your advice because I just bought the charge duster mid, and I love it!
I test rode a specialized rockhopper disc and wasn't very impressed by it, I then managed to find somewhere that would order a charge duster for me without having to commit to buying it. I rode it on saturday and couldn't resist it, it's an amazing ride, and looks incredible too!
Here are a few pics, I doubt it'll stay white for long!

This is my first bike of this calibre, and I've already learnt <u>not</u> to pull the break lever whilst the wheel is off!
The bike's weights in at 31.4lbs which is pretty good for a steel frame.
Now I just need to put it through it's paces
Cheers
Russ

thanks chaps, unfortunately my free hosting just went boobs up so the pic won't be available until tomorrow.
Ive already managed to make a small chip in my lovely pain work, any hints on fixing this?0 -
Where is the chip? What about a small charge sticker.Ask the shop,my lbs gave me quite a few different sized ones.Put a couple on my frame :-)

it's on the seat stay, I managed to do it whilst putting the bike in the car! It's only small (3mm square), but it's taken off the white paint so you can see the undercoat!0

The link is working now. Nice bike.Looks very very good in White. I should be getting a Duster frame in the next couple of weeks. The saddle looks great as well. What size frame is yours and how long is the stem?????
Cheers
