After placing an order on 12th March, my new bike is now in the hands of DHL in transit from Germany. I suspect that it will probably be delivered on Tuesday though, because of the bank holiday.

It's a Rose Thrill Hill 8. 10.2 kg for £2039. Not the prettiest bike in the world, but I'm buying it for the weight, not the looks.

For me looks are very important, if i didnt like the look of my bikes i wouldnt want to ride them.

did you check this out?

http://www.canyon.com/_uk/mountainbikes/bike.html?b=2076

best XC trail bike as voted for by bike radar... pretty imppressive, their bikes starting to be a real hit it seems given the recent reviews from high profile mags.

not that ugly though:)

The web link says £2649? Not £2039? Looks good at either price though!

Even [i]I[/i] think it's attractive, and that's in spite of a rear shock.

Personally, i don't think it looks that good, but I'm hoping it looks better in the flesh.

I did have Canyon on my shortlist, but this was cheaper 7 lighter.

I ordered it in mid-March, when there was an offer on, that's why I only paid £2039 😀
