I shall hit autotrader in the morning. Cheers for the suggestions !

I like the look of the new 29er, undecided between waiting it out for that, one one lurcher or a friend that was at the NEC bike show gave good reports about the Rose Bikes MR Ride series – Decisions decisions ? http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/products/bikes/mtb-hardtail/mr-ride-2012/

I’ve just taken the plunge via MTBBatteries site and will report back on due course

I was at a meeting with a policeman once and as we were walking out of the building, some prat went past at speed chatting away on his mobile. I asked the aforementioned copper why he hadnt stopped him and was told “its socially acceptable” so they dont really do anything.

I have a fiver on Wales, unfortunately that means an almost certain win for the Boks.

I’ve got an 09 Unit, its the bike I always go back to if I want some fun. Very few places I struggle with the standard SS gearing although I was wondering if I could fit an alfine hub in it to get a few extra hills under my belt, although I guess that detracts from the simplicity it.

Dont think about it, just buy one !
