Here we go folks..
I'm pretty new to all this. Been to Llandegla and trundle along the local canal paths when i get a chance. Plan to hit Nant Yr Arian over the coming months and head back to Llandegla, to get used to it, then head into Snowdonia..
Not the most amazing bike I know, but it's my first foray into proper mountain biking so figured I'll start with something half decent on a budget!!!
OK so I went for it because I like the way it looks (especially now i've upgraded the pedals!!)..

nice bike. not sure about the rear light angle, but you can't have everything in life. How do you find the forks? are they dart 2s?
Airienteer - your kona ss looks like a nice ride too.- Kona Hot '96 - Marin Rift Zone '09 - Cannondale Synapse Carbon '06 - Kona Caldera '98 - Kona AA '94 - Dawes Kickback II - Cannondale BadBoy '11 - Genesis iOiD SS -0 -
Cheers guys
I figure it's better to blind the driver behind than light up the rear tyre? First time the lights were on so will need some tweaking i'm sure!!
Forks are Dart3. They seem good to me. Bearing in mind this is my first mtb with any form of suspension I don't have much to compare it to, but I am relatively light and by tweaking the resistance i seem to be able to get a firm ride with just enough dampening.
I just need to go and get it properly dirty now....0
