Like my new bike! No I won't quote Floyd as it doesn't have a bell on it (yet).

You WON'T like that saddle......will you?

I had one of those on my latest bike and it just had to go!

it depends, if it's rock hard and near plastic then it will be getting changed eventually. if it's just a standard one then I will probably keep it. I have a pair of Fox ride shorts that have extra bum padding in them....kinda like a nappy..pmsl

can't wait to get back up into the hills, nothing better sometimes that flying down a mountain/munro full belt with a bit of sepultura on!

Lovely bike, health and lots of time to enjoy it.:cool:

Regarding saddles, i've kept my Selle Italia 'flite' saddle when i sold my last bike as it's shaped to my bone, if you are looking for a change if it doesn't suit,
the Charge 'Spoon' (lower end) are said to be quite good and the Fizik 'Gobi' (higher end) with wingflex are good, been using the Gobi on one of my bikes since last year and am happy with it.

Going by your location, Glentress Forrest (Peebles) is literally at your doorstep and it's highly recommended.

wii.

nice one re Glentress, will have to find a riding buddy for that... used to be in Aberdeen and had a buddy up there, not as much fun on your own.

anyway, yeah I know the charge ones you mean! bling bling!

took delivery of the bike yesterday, set it up and it's quite the sturdy beast!

time to get rid of the belly! although I've lost half a stone in 3 weeks already swimming :)
