Mountain bike ideas?
What happened to the £20 GT, that looks my kind of bike !
I have an old DiamondBack Topanga, Rigid and massive MTB, steel framed, cant bear to get rid of it, quite tidy on Road Slicks, never ride it but might start to as its more comfy than my Cannondale, just needs the brakes setting up as they are crap.
Hope the new one is ok, fit or not you are in for a workout
sure it will be fine, just get on with it, enjoy it, keep it nice and when you feel the need move it on and upgrade to something better, thats the secret, don't ruin it ! as its still then £50 towards a new one, amazes me how people wreck cars, bikes whatever and moan they cant afford the latest and shiniest.

well my dad is bigger than your dad !I think to join the army you need to be able to run 1.5 miles in under 12 minutes ...
So.. I would consider that (for us both) to be good going ..
My weight has gone from 11.3 to 13 stone .. which considering my healthy diet is good going !! I'm aiming for 15 stone by this time next year !!
I'm still trying my best to bulk up and knocked my climbing on the head. The extra weight makes it a bitch.
Anyway .. enough of the epenis competitions.. I have the bike and it looks good

lol check you with the ***** competition, I was just pointing out that I think im unfit 
Your dad prob is bigger than mine, mine is atleast -6ft at the mo I believe last time I looked at his grave 2 years ago.
Sounds like your doing well though mate, in all seriousness, but if the bike is only a passing phase, I would miss it out completely, and if you decide riding is for you, buy a decent bike when you can
Have fun with it all the same dude, riding rocks Especially when you take your camera with you and make a day of it

As for doing well, as you know its a lot of hard work and once you start you tend to never quite be happy with yourself .. always wanting to look that bit bigger, or small or be just that 10KG stronger ...Its a healthy hobby though
I shall do my very best.
