Joined: 07 Apr 2009 Posts: 116 Bike: My Profile | I thought it may be a good idea to see which bike set-ups members have... I have an '08 Specialized Rockhopper Disc - I added CB Eggbeaters (SL's) and a few scratches due to taking a crash course in how to fly a bike! :-) Other than that it's standard at the moment... I'm really impessed with the bike tho - very light compared to bikes I'm used to, I've never had hydraulic disc brakes before either - take a bit of getting used to... over the bars a few times at first. |

 Joined: 09 Jul 2012 Posts: 1 Bike: | Hi folks, just found this site and must say, very informative! I have two bikes a Trek Alpha 4300 mountain bike and a Trek 1.2 triple racing bike which I used to do the Manchester to Blackpool charity ride yesterday. Finished the ride in 3 hours 46 minutes which was a vast improvement on my previous time of 4 hours 7 minutes! Love both bikes, never had a problem with either of them. John |

 Joined: 26 Jun 2011 Posts: 2 Bike: My Profile | I'm on..... An early 80's Olmo Road bike with Campag throughout that's as pretty as a picture. A Scott Speedster S40 which is basically my winter bike as it's rock hard and quite an aggressive seating position-all the better for the twitchy wet weather stuff that's a mix of Shimano 105 with Mavic brakes. A Fuji Roubaix 1.0 with 105 and Ultegra.Nice quick training/commuting bike. A Specialized S-Works E5 with 105 and Pro-Lite Wheels.Light and QUICK!! AND A 1955 Raleigh stepover which is in original working condition(got the old Rod brakelines!!).That's a bike that I just had to have when someone offered me it for £60. So yeah.I have a problem.I only have one pair of legs. |

Joined: 11 Aug 2012 Posts: 8 Bike: | Two years ago I decided to try cycling again after 25 years or so away from it. Ended up just buying a cheap hybrid to see how it went and not waste too much money if I decided it wasn't for me. Bought a Ventura Crossroads which is not great but has been ultra reliable and served me well (not that I've covered loads of miles compared to people on here). Probably next summer I'll look at upgrading and offload the Ventura to my nephew. |

Joined: 08 Aug 2012 Posts: 2 Bike: My Profile | Hello all Recently back into cycling after a 12 year break. Wanted to use cycling and regular gym sessions as a way to get fit and lose the weight i piled on. Went for a 2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0. I was interested in this 29er style and set up. Changed the standard grips for a set of the ergon GP3s. Also a more comfortable gel padded saddle from halfords (bike hut). Set up so far is standard but would like to upgrade the standard suntour front fork. |

Joined: 17 Aug 2012 Posts: 6 Bike: My Profile | I've got a Trek 3500, I keep saying I am going to but a new bike but to be honest it's an old faithfull, highly reliable and has done far too many miles for me too remember. I absolutely love my bike, i've had it 7 years now and other than new tyres and innertubes, a new back axle, replaced gear cables and break blocks there is absolutely nothing wrong with the frame and it's my pride and joy. I loved the fact that it has ridged forks (something you can't get too much these days) as well as block breaks rather than disc brakes, it's a dream to ride. |

 Joined: 29 Aug 2012 Posts: 2 Bike: My Profile | Hi I have just bought the 2013 Specialized Crosstrail Hybrid (disc brakes et al) from Edinburgh Bike Co-op, these guys were very helpful and I am delighted with the bike. Just published a route from Penicuik to West Linton and back, around 19 miles and I have been doing that twice a week for the last few weeks. Loving the freedom to just do it and feelign the benefits already.....trying to kick a smoking habit and this is really helping. If anyone has any good routes in Midlothian let me know. cheers |

Joined: 31 Aug 2012 Posts: 3 Bike: | Hi guys, We have had our bikes stolen from Ringwood. They are an Orange Crush and Orange EVO8. The Organe Crush was the 2010 model in orange, has standard kit but both disks are different. The Orange EVO8 was the 2009 model in white, has a Selle Italia white seat, white grips on the handle bars. Both bikes have a set of cateyes fitted. If you come across either of them please could you let us know. We will be happy to give a reward also. Please could you forward this email on if you know other people in the trade Kind regards, Sam and Justyna 07884266422 / 07554991554 |
