i'm not a serious (is the the right word??) mountain biker

We try not to be 'serious' here. It's about having fun after all

i know there are a HELL of a lot better bikes out there but this is
mainly
for commuting to work (8miles a day) and having a little bit of fun at
weekends, i cant justify spending a bundle '
