Sweet ride but I'm not so keen on the crankset colour, gets a 10 for the hopes though. How are the floating rotas?

why did you get "raised eyebrows" in your shop when you asked for decent hose? weird.

Alextaylor replied... on 6 January 2009

In manchester, when someone asks for 'hose' they get sent to the red light district...

Dream bike, have to agree with the silver cranks not being top, but its a small price to pay for one of the best bikes out there!

Lovely bike, albeit i dislike the silver cranks, and can you afford to lose some links in the chain? i think so. That mech will have ZERO tension when in the granny ring.

Alextaylor replied... on 1 May 2008

Cheers. I actually prefer the silver in the flesh, I wasn't sure when I bought it (I didn't have a choice in the colour, the crank was reduced from £230 to £100 so I had to have it!.)I hardly use the granny ring (I'm a roadie at heart so am used to 1 in 4 gradients using a 39/25...) but I've never, ever had a problem when I have. Note that the the middle ring and the small cog at the back are being used hence the appearance of no tension.

Thats just an awsome bike, especially in the super team colours. Would have gone for the black cranks though, silver looks a bit roadie.

Alextaylor replied... on 22 April 2008

Doh! I wondered why everyone else was so much faster than me :)

Stug replied... on 14 April 2008

Naaa, ur no roadie, thats a mountainbike dude!

Alextaylor replied... on 12 April 2008

Heh heh, I am a roadie! I got the silver because it was reduced from 230 quid to 100...
