We where up visiting the Inlaws and came home via Bury.
And,as a belated 40th, my wife bought me this.
A 2017 Whyte T-130s.

It's a bit different to my Krampus!

Still, looking forward to some Gheycoremince-lite™ Kinda riding.

Happydays.

my wife bought me this

In return it looks like she expects you to do the hoovering from now on.

I always love the stories where 2 people have fully functioning relationships, and even though the one doesn't "get" the other's hobby, they are just happy to encourage them to carry on enjoying it!

Chapeau to your missus... Oh and if you don't enjoy the bike, you need your head examining, awesome bit of fun the T-130!

Sweet ride.

Are you quite tall by any chance?

It wasn't this afternoon by any chance was it?

I was there weighing up the G160 at the same time!

Regarding the hoovering, it's in the cellar, and the bean bag has just exploded...

Tall? No, I'm 5'11 in heels.. That's a Large with a 35mm stem.. Seems spotty dog.

And, yes, yes it was this afternoon Bluearsedfly.. - I was thinking of the G160, just felt it was too much?

I offered the lad who served you a lift down from the stand with it before he wheeled it into the back. It really is a nice looking bike, I'm sure you'll have nothing but fun on it.

I'm sure it's marvellous, saddle looks rather high in the pic, might be a camera perspective thing.

Will look out for you up Rivi then.

I've been out 3 times on my new T130 and have been really impressed with it, it handled beautifully at Llandegla and Cannock and was much better than I expected round Hope in the peaks. Oh and I had 2 people compliment me, one watching me descend a rocky section and the other was an old fella out walking with his mates commented it was a beautiful looking bike, which has never happened to me before! Enjoy.

Great great bike.
I've got one too. I've ridden things I never dared to on the T129.
Enjoy!
