I've got this for riding fast on the road (although my back can't handle the drop handlebars anymore, so I think I'll be swapping them for flats), had it for 4ish years now, never had any issues apart from buckling the rear wheel and replacing it with a cheapo one 3 days into ownership.

And I just bought this today, for slower road riding, trail riding and blasting round the quarry. It's not the best one out there, but I'm happy with it and I know it'll do me well. I'm a novice and couldn't warrant spending silly money. This'll do nicely

My Peugeot Vitesse died as the chain stay snapped! I've stripped the parts & may pick up a new frame.
It was replaced by this...

It's a good bike for the money, but I do miss the pug! It's had a couple of bits fitted since this pic, spds etc.
For anyone buying a bike from Halfrauds, their 22 point check is more than useless!
First time out on it, a couple of gear changes in and a big clunk...
Halfords hadn't tightened the front derailer on enough, it swung round and got mangled by the crank!
I bent it back & took it to a proper bike shop to sort out my gearing. Didn't trust Halfords enough to go back for the free 6 week service. ____________________ "You know, they say that, the wheel is the greatest invention ever. But I think it's probably the second wheel, because . . .

Just bought this as im trying to get back into a bit of cross country riding, seeing as i live near bow brickhills it would be rude not too!
Paid 260 for it, barely used. Its nothing special but a step up from my 15 year old gt....

Ha yeah it's insanely priced but good downhill bikes are crazy money, wanted the best spec one for the cane creek shock made by ohlins
0% finance makes it a load easier on the wallet though |

My best bike is a Giant TCR Composite 1, got £500 off as it was last years model. Very happy with it.

My other rides are: -
Focus Cayo 105 - All year round Carbon bike with mud guards installed.
Specialized Hardrock which I use about once a year. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

My racer again after a few more upgrades!
I stupidly decided to take it offroading It was interesting!
I totally forgot how useless rim brakes become in mud. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.
