Sorry, can't this evening.

But will be joining a local group each Mon and Thurs @ 7.00pm for a ride starting out in Hockley Woods car park, taking in various local routes.
Not been yet, but think it's fairly mixed fitness levels.

Oh well ......

Was there for around an hour and my mates frame cracked !!!!

So a little walk back to the van, and back home we came, luckily for him, we were following a bike track and were lifting our bikes over a gate, and he spotted the crack, it went all the way around the tube that comes from the handbars to the seat stem at the seat stem end.

Could have been nasty if he had come off.

We were both saying the same yesterday.

Luckily his frame has a lifetime guarantee ..... The bad thing is, this is the second frame that he has had from this manufacturer that has cracked, his last cracked around the crank and up the seat post part of the frame.

I said there is no way I would have another frame from the same manufacturer.
