Promised i wouldn't do it!!!
After i sold my last road bike about 2 months ago i swore i'd not get another one and stick to just my Rocky Mountain. within days i was missing my Colnago and found the montain bike just was too heavy for road work.
So after buying a cheap Principia from Fleabay (which lasted 1 week before i sold it on as it needed too much doing and wasn't what i was looking for) i decided to hunt out the bike i'd always wanted.
So here she is. Full Carbon fibre frame & forks. £800 worth of wheels. Ultegra groupset
Sub 17Lbs and really really flys

Nice bike Bodski, bet it feels mega quick compared to the Rocky Mountain.
Do you know of any decent off-road riding in and around Colchester? The tougher the better!

Highwoods country Park is ok, although they don't like you cycling in there, as is the loop round Alton Water. Few good little off road bits round Alresfors but not reall worth the trip over unless your in the vacinity.
Still say we should have a ESC trip to Betws y coed or Coedy Brenin Now that is proper Mountain biking Not even been this year!!! I'm gettin withdrawl symptons

You'll have to go easy, on my halfords special I normally average 23mph Oh no sorry, the average has a 2 and a 3 in it
I'm doing a 3000m steeplechase race tomorrow in Guldford so I may be a bit tender myself
