..i guess the rest of ye consider this "bike" to look nice??..#noknobblies=notnice
What brand is it.?
Er... Road
I got given an old Mercian frame earlier - but it may be so rusted it's scrap (time with a wire brush will tell). I'm not sure I'm ready to a) go back to downtube mounted shifters or b) ride anything with tyres sooooo skinny 😯
That said, I do a fair proportion of my miles 'on road' so perhaps a road iron would make sense, I'm just not sure I want to pass up the option of taking to the trails when I've got to wherever I was going (Quantocks last time, great fun).
As some say giant "don't knock it till you've tried it"...have you?
I applied Vaseline on freshly shaven legs for today's wet road ride. I used to be a MTBer 😳
Oh my god... Vaseline & shave legs... Im out..
Sefton..is a public forum the right place to be confessing to such antics..more ammo for the MTB boys!!!
i was a dedicated MTB only guy for years, then i worked away in oxford for a year and got a road bike due to the lack of any real mountains nearby, i was surprised how fast i started enjoying my nightly 20 miler and how much difference it made to my MTB riding, no bail out gears get you stronger quite quickly.
MTB if you enjoy riding your bike.
Roadie if you enjoy suffering on your bike.
...so it turns out most of my mtb stw freinds have darkside aspirations...#abitdissapointedtobehonest
Chief, which village? 🙂
The roads are so damaged , a road ride is very similar to a mtb ride anyway .
