I can get my bike in the boot, classic scoob, just remove wheels, one pedal and the bars fits in a treat, might have troulble if its a large frame size, I only run a 17" full susser.

Cool

Just off out for a ride as we speak. A couple of guys from work are into it so we try to get out every monday after work. Ride a Scott hardtail coz I couldn't justify spending a small fortune on a decent full susser. Anyone else ride in the Leeds/Bradford/Harrogate area?
