Hi all

[Wardy123]

Hi all, my names Mark and im from doncaster
just got back into cycling after a break of 20 years

i bought a raleigh max ogre from ebay cost me £35 ive stripped quite a few parts from a full suspension bike that was kicking around
brakes, tyres etc
put lights and a cycling computer on it
and covered the rust spots with mbuk stickers

only picked it up last saturday ive done 51 miles this week.

my reasons for riding again im 37 year old and 6'2 tall and 18 stone - used to work in IT - i need to lose weight - the extra exercise should help

now i need to save up for a road bike - but not gonna get rid of the max its the same colour as my cherished raleigh yukon i had when i was 17 (i did thousands of miles on that bike)

ne ways again hi all and sorry for the novel

Hi Mark

Welcome back. Get out there and enjoy yourself and hopefully you won't meet as many poseurs as I do who will not return a friendly wave.
