cheers folks, it was a lot of spiel so thanks for reading through it. i think the bit about initially wanting a 28 came across wrong, sure that would have been my 1st pick if one had cropped up in my price bracket but im very happy with the 21even though ive not had the chance to put as many miles on it as i would have liked plus the general consensus on here is that its the better bike which is a bonus.

ive attached a photo of my bike when i 1st picked her up, let me know your thoughts.

Dave, i live in preston and i tend to head up to devils bridge and over to lakes when i go out on the bike. where are you at?

Matt ive put a pic on of me on an SP1 down at bira and was wondering if your the guy with the workshop down there?
