Haha! I forgot I'd put it on there. You've got to show off your ride you know! I did get a dropper post in the end too!

They're not very big over here. I got the frame direct from them in Germany.

A little lucky with the cost as I ordered it just before the Brexit vote. Had I ordered it after that with the pound crashing it would've cost me nearly £200 more! Good old Brexit!

Go to your nearest Devathlon. Their road bikes are especially good for that money. Mountain bikes aren’t too bad either or maybe Go Outdoors for MTB’s.

I don’t do nearly as much as I should or want. I might get an indoor trainer for the winter this year.

My bike is getting in for 20 years old but it was over £5k when I bought it.

It's a Scott strike limited edition carbon.

It's a really good cross country and about 20 pound full suspension which is light even today. At the time it was a top spec race bike. However it's only got light recreational use from me albeit in some tough trails in Wales and lakes. Being so light and with the gearing and suspension it's a great climber and easy ride XC. But with my age and fitness I will probably pack in before it packs in.

I bike a bit in Maine. 2 years ago I bought a Klein, I love it. I bought it this time of year used. It's well worth checking out used ones around now, lots of fair weather bikers (me) sell their bikes that they bought at the start of the summer and used a few times and gave up.

I agree with derek if I was buying a bike with a budget if £600 I would look at used MTB depreciate rapidly and you can get some real bargains if you don't mind a cosmetic scratch or two

I wasn't linking I was asking an opinion. The fact you don't care says a lot.

Nice bikes those. Good that you’re still using it too as people tend to treat them like trophies a bit now.
