Can't find any info on it, but put it this way, after having worked in the cycle trade for 6 years, my instant reaction was to reply "No" without even looking for any info. I did look for info though and couldn't find any. C.B just isn't a good make for mountain bikes I'm afraid, some of them might be O.Kish at best but it's safe to say you could get a better bike. What is the C.B you were looking at like ? What sort of thing are you looking for ? I'll try and recommend some bikes to look at.

Ooops - already bought it! I wanted a 'heavy' mtb so it makes me work harder, on-road use (just started riding 5 miles an evening)
Just wanted an opinion on whether I've bought a good bike or not, looks like not then!

Ooh, that's kind of embarrasing !! If you are planning to ride it mainly on road though then it'll be fine, just a bit of case of the difference between a SWB Landrover and a jacked up "softroader" with big stuck on plastic bits if you actually wanted to do any serious off road riding.
What I do at the weekends doesn't really tolerate anything other than very serious kit:
(me following my friend Stu off a wee drop in)

You wanted a heavy bike? Sheesh, I'm always trying to lose weight from mine; it's now 21lbs but I can shave just a little more off!
Depends on what you want a bike for. If you just want it for on-road transport, fair enough, just about anything will do, though I'd stick slicks on it if I were you. If you want to use it for off-road, what a lot of people find is that they pay a low price for a bike then replace it after just a few months (or even weeks) because the suspension is crude, the brakes don't work, it's a heavy old lump and parts fail very quickly.
I don't know about the bike you've bought, and I'm certainly not trying to have a go; anyone who's getting off their backside and exercising is to be applauded. But if you carry on with it you'll almost certainly upgrade/replace your bike, so get the wallet ready.

Wossat you're riding - Rocky Mountain of some sort? Being an XCer I'm not really up on DH/freeride bikes .... I like to ride UP hills as well.
