yeah thanks man, some serious hours went in to building this up. was well happy with it in the alps but when i got it back to the UK, i found that it was too much bike to lug around.
cheers dude! its not mine anymore though. sold it and bought the commencal thats on my profile. technically i dont 'live' in reading any more, im at uni in Swansea so i only get back to ride once a term and then for about 4 weeks in between terms. nice bike! and good luck with getting that 7. theyre really nice bikes.
