I used to use a Flite,but these days my bum seems to fit a WTB Rocket V,light and hardwearing.

Does your local Hospital have an Asthma specialist nurse? It might be worth ringing them for a medication review.

I worked in gastro-enterology for 8 years prior to moving to respiratory medecine,you have my deepest sympathy,I wouldn't wish Crohn's or ulcerative colitis on anyone.
Ian

Each to his own,I like it,wish I had one,only ever managed the 250.

Had a 1.5x in about 1987,blew XR3s into the weeds,gearchange like stirring porridge,and had to be welded,before I'd buy it.

Ask DrP how you differentiate between swine flu and normal flu,then ask youself if it can be done on the phone.It's basically guesswork.
Ian
P.S. It may have been swine flu,but there's no way of telling.

P.S. Diagnosed swine flu? guessed more like.
Ian

+1 for DrP,a course of prednisolone at that dose,for 5 days should be settling your chest within 48 hours,and no long term side effects.I'm a nurse in respiratory medicine,it's a standard dose.
Ian

Haven't worked since July 15th,long term sick until Dec 20th,when ,sadly,I retire.

If there are instructions on the machine on what to do if it is broken,and you didn't follow them,you're stuffed.

At least you now know who the most important person in the department is.
Ian

And breathe.
Ian

Well,either it was a promotion,and he's out on the lash,celebrating,or the big heave-ho,and he's out on the lash,drowning his sorrows.This could be a long evening,especially if we have to discuss each others faith systems at length.

Gooutdoors own brand,were 3 pairs for £10.Bargain.

If it's a general type mtb,this is quite a good starting point http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/custom-mountain-bikes/discount-mountain-bikes/merlin-malt-1-2010-ltd-edition.html ,though you'd need to ring them to ask about sizes.
Ian

I agree with the above,the Cannondale has had a lot of parts replaced,so it's probably had a fairly hard life too.You won't get a bike that combines full on downhill and crosscountry,so either pick one or the other,or get an allrounder.Your choice will come down to budget eventually,if you want to buy secondhand ,the sellers on here are generally much more reliable than ebay.I'd recommend you go to Wheelbase at Staveley,and have a good look at what your money will get you new,it will also let you work out what size frame you need.If you need any more advice,just ask,there's always lots available here,some of it worth having.
