    Certainly worth a visit - and good to get out now the snow has finally melted! Roll on summer!

    What was up with the Superstar Pads? And which compound were they?

    Not sure of the compound TBH. They didn't wear very evenly and very quickly became so underpowered I felt like I had cantilevers from 1996. When I took them to my LBS I was told that Superstar brake pads will invalidate any warranty because the resin has been known to foul up the calipers - how true that is I don't know but sticking to OEM from now on

    A GT from back when they made good bikes. Thats tidy for its age.

    Not too hot on my GT knowledge but I was very surprised when I rode this for the first time - its a little hefty (but I got strong legs!) but it rides like a dream and is a match for some modern bikes!

    Nice bike, I had an I Drive 0-0 up until a few months back when some iurch stole it. You may want to think about protecting your rear shock as they don't last long in the great British mud.

    Yes it ive got a mucky nuts mud guard to protect it since its right in the firing line
