Fully suspended?? You *****. Harder to ride everywhere but downhill. I'm still a hardtail fan. My ol Trek 850 antelope is still rockin'. Just not in -30C. This my year to get the belly off. Welcome to the club nobbie. I'll use you as a support when I want to binge.
I bought this last week
Also full sus. A fair chunk of our riding is on trail centres, very rocky, a HT means you just get too much of a battering on the rocky downhill sections which in turn drains your energy. I'm very happy though that the riding position is very close to my hardtail which pleases me lots after riding a few of my mates full sus bikes and not really liking them.
I've only ridden it twice now due to the snow but out again tomorrow for some proper tricky stuff and top trails.

I'd have given you one of them for nothing mate.
We have a spare one that one of the lads used 3 times.
When i sold him my old bike i used that one for a ride. I'm way way fitter and better than them boys however i couldn't stay with them.
I'm pretty sure it weighs the same as my Tuono.

Yeah he's not bad LOL. Seen it a few times. He's just had his biggest exposure this week with a big article in the NY times.
I've only done one XC race but planning on doing a couple of the Gorrick series down here starting on 7th March.

Go for it Nob, a couple of stone will feel like adding 5 bhp to the T.
Good luck.
You & Hamish should have a small bet here.

did 17miles on me bianchi hybrid , had legs like jelly when i got home not stopped eating since. got it on the ride to work jobbie saved 40% and pay it off interest free over a year. before you ask no ,not been to work on it
Todays weather was superb. Frosty, cold, crisp and beautifully sunny. Tyres gripped nicely on stuff that was unreidable on Wed due to mud. Not too hot when riding, not too cold (apart from feet).

on the 'to do' list for 2010 mate, although a bloody long way from Down south. I can probably get to the Alps quicker LOL.
