Checking in for the first time.....no need to go easy on me if you feel it appropriate not to be....
I have a HT and a FS both Stevens. Manic HT and a 3 week old Glide Max that is superb....
I live on the edge of the Peaks in Matlock and have been riding for nearly 2 years. I am of a competent standard....
I am however a numpty when it comes to bike maintenance and have little mechanical know-how. That life though, hey!!
Thats all.....
Welcome. But I would advise you to get out before you get addicted.
If I had done what I was supposed to be doing for half the time I have been on here I would be a lot fitter and wealthier.
Fair comment....been 'lurking' for a while laughing quite a bit at 'attitudes'.....lets see how it goes...
14mile out of door this fine morn (rain) up through Riber and then onto Black Rock......
what you don't have a 650b 29er hybrid cx bike with 154mm forks, time to leave we have an intruder!!!!
I am occasionally rad to the power of sic.....is that any good?
"competent standard" I like that phrase. It's a bit like "lifetime warranty", it can mean whatever you want it to. 😉
Most things have an element of relativity......

Handybendy - Have you been out with the Matlock CC MTB lads yet ??
They have been regally meeting across from Stanley Fearns on a Saturday around 9.00am / 9.15am for the past 25 years or more, they always get in the region of 20+ riders. Absolutely cracking bunch of lads with some of the best knowledge known of riding in the Peaks 😆
I usually get out on a Sunday as I have too much going on on Saturdays.....I have seen them loitering outside Stanleys though.....I did not notice anything regal about them though 😉

You wait till you ride with them, the older guys put most "young un's" to shame 🙄
Ey up bud, did you get your moniker as an adaptation of the Handi Bendi Ghandi off of "3 Of A Kind" years back, remember falling off t'settee to that one.

He knows the lingo already, I'm impressed!
Now for some tester questions, to see if he's been paying proper attention...
What tyres for?
Full sus or hardtail?
Best bike for £1k?
What super slack, long travelled, skill compensating, gravity sled do I need for my bimble round my local woods?
Which Audi do I need as I own an Orange 5, and I work in IT?
If a guy does a jump on his 29er in the woods, and there was nobody around to witness, did the wheels actually make a sound as they exploded upon landing?
To 650b, or not 650b, that is the question?
Very close to Matlock myself!
J-co - yes indeedy....
mboy - you forgot "are helmets necessary" etc
