for the time buing anyhow.
after a 6 hr procedure yesterday, my heart is beating proper (if a little high) for the 1st time in 12 months.
hopefully it will stay so, but the consultant reckons i may need ablation again, just a matter of when.
scariest thing i have ever been through, laid on a table with a load of wires inserted into you heart, burning the bad bit away.
heart consultants at LGI are my new heroes. 8)
Well done, amzing news. Just when nicolai made the answer to your now non existant problem

Congratulations, well done Ton and NHS.
nice one!
Long live the NHS!!!!
Ton - Great news! don't know you 'in person', but have read many of your threads about what you have been through. Much respect for keeping up the biking (even when electrically assisted) and really glad to hear your heart is back to 'normal'.
If you (and your friends / family) ever fancy a cycling tour round the north Wales coast to celebrate, let me know and I'd be happy to help.
Take it easy 🙂
Good stuff. Not hanging about are you? Ive seen the XL Heckler WTD ad!
Dibs on the leccy bike please .... 😉

Good news after taking the risk with the op. Have seen plenty of your threads and hope you get back upto speed and can enjoy biking again.

Oh and go buy yourself a new bike to celebrate.

Great news Tony.
Really pleased for you.
Oh & no you can't have the Ventana back 😉 😀
well done Ton. Keep progressing. 🙂
You have been very brave.
Si...have you seen that intense full sus 29r....... 😉
Bollocks.
That's me one place lower at HtN 😀
just realized that sounds a bit patronising.
Well done though.
Good to hear.
I have indeed Tony, along with the new Banshee/Mythic & i also hear Brant has plans for a 29er El Guapo 😯
I try not to look too hard at them though as the Ventana is indeed a fantastic frame, even with my 100mm Minutes on it. Just saving for some 120mm forks at the moment. 🙄
fantastic news fella, made up for you.
