It was all such a long time ago.
I went in to my LBS which was having a closing down sale ,and just happened to mention that I had £5000 to spend on a new bike ,but that I no idea what to choose. I also mentioned that I was having some thoughts about changing tyres ,pedals,cables,brakes and finishing kit, as I just couldn’t keep up with people at my local trail park. Anyway,they said that they posted at a very helpful place called singletrackworld on the interweb,and felt sure I would have all my questions answered.
When I came on here ,I forgot all about bikes and ended up spending my money on stoves,quality knives,razor blades and cheese. So now ,I lurk on here,scanning all the threads ,just waiting for them to turn up. I will have my revenge ,oh yes 🙂
