Managed a 25 mile TT on my bike on Saturday in 58:05 ... well happy with that.

Average speed for the event 25.8mph.

Looks like just the right bike for riding around in Essex Grumph!

Funny that they've chosen to run the Olympic mountain biking in Essex also... rather than somewhere in the UK that actually has mountains...

Sorry, still not got pics of my bike. You wont approve Grumps as the disc rotors are smaller than the ones on my car...

my road bike (Giant OCR 2) has been stolen, so I'm looking to get a new bike. What should I get? looking to spend from 600 upwards, as bikes seem to have got expensive, but obviously open to any deals!

suggestions?

Indeed. I do have a thing for white bikes atm. I also really wanted a remedy but the enduro worked out about half the price for similar spec so had to have it really.

Ah yeah, I saw about your stumpy on pistonheads I think. Shame.

The trek fuel ex9 in white is pretty much bike porn... would look good in my quiver next to my chrome Marin



mmmmmmm

cheers Tim, I love it. I snapped my old stumpjumper fsr.

Grew up on fully rigids and hardtails so feel fully justified in having my full sus now! I dont particularly like riding uphill and am not very good at it anyway so for me its not much of a penalty to drag the extra weight around and just makes the down bits so much more fun.....

I like it Chris. I keep feeling lured towards the way of the full bouncer but keep assuring myself that being shaken to bits on a hardtail is more 'rewarding'!
