Hi,
Long time reader, first time poster and it seems customary to say 'Hello'.

I've been mountain biking for a few years now, I ride a Trek Topfuel. I demo'd quite a few bikes, whittled it down to a short-list, but ulitmately had to say Yes to this one. It's awesome! Even thinking of racing next year.

Anyway, Hello all!

What is this weeing in people's shoes all about?
(I think someone's 'done' mine as they've got an awful hum about them at the moment)

To be honest, I don't know where the shoe weeing thing came from.

Do you have any bombers with which to "own" those who might trespass against you?

Why don't you have an Orange 5?

I used to have a 5, tried a 2011 one recently, just felt it was a little common really. Also wanted something a little more stealthy, wallowing around the country side on a single pivot isn't really my thing.

Ditto bombers, far too heavy for my liking.
