it came today . weighed it and it comes in at 10.8 kg , my 12 year old and loved hardtail comes in at 13.8 so may notice a differance when riding it . looks lovely .put it next to the old girl and they look almost the same shape and size .will take in to bike shop to get it set up correctly as not very good at that sort of stuff . can not wait to give her a go .

Very interested in that bike - so please keep us posted with a mini-review / photos!
Also how much your LBS takes to set it up - so I could benchmark my LBS if I do the same!

hi mate , rode it 4 the first time today as been unwell and got to say what a great bike . it feels so light ride . feels very differant to my old bike in a very much better way . it gets up hills without as much effort & i not sure why (made it up a hill i normaly stop on in one go today on her) . the fork lock out is a great feature & rideing position feels really comfortable as well . not as long as the old bike . LBS charged £40 to build her & said to buy a the same spec from them would be over £1100 at least . well worth the money . it has gone up from £780 to £800 know so grab one if you can .

update on the bike . have done two hundred miles or so and can say what a bike . i am going faster and longer on her and doing more stuff as well as balance and brakes so much better than the old girl . you can not ask more from a bike . very pleased with her and having a lot of fun

I will dude, can't wait to see your bike!

You need to open an online pic hosting account. Easiest in my opinion is photobucket.com

Once you have an account with them (it's free) you upload photos by opening up the "upload " window and dragging and dropping photos to the account. They take a while to upload, so only do a few at a time.

Make sure the album you want to share is marked as public then display the photo you want to share. A box opens up on the right hand side of your screen with a series of link codes. Click on teh bottom code entitled "IMG" and the code will automatically copy to your clipboard.

Open up a reply dialogue box on Cyclechat and right click paste or ctrl V to paste the IMG Url into the box. When you send the post the photo will display.
