Hello Fellow Cycilst

[Chris1983]

Hi,

My name is Chris and I have recently been introduced to this forum by a fellow member Geoff (Ffoeg)

I'm based in Sheffield and started mountain biking around about 2.5years ago when I got myself a 2011 Cube LTD Team hardtail (it’s safe to say that I’m a bit of Cube fan boy)

Love the bike and I’ve still got it.

I've added a couple of custom touches since the above pic was taken, seat post has been changed for a KS dropper post and the pedals have been changed to Shimano Saints...other than that it’s as it came from the shop.
My riding sees me a Sherwood Pines quite frequently and also out in the Peak District

I have also been using it to commute to work at lot...until very recently when I decided that a MTB was not the right tool for the job, even with 1.5" semi slicks....So I brought myself a new toy.

A 2013 Cube Agree GTC Race

This is my first ever road bike and I’m really enjoying it...did a 30mile loop last weekend and I’ve got a nice 50mile loop in the Peaks planned for Saturday time and weather permitting.

And one of the two machines side by side.

Many thanks for reading

Chris

Welcome Chris! I'm quite a newbie here too! Just got back into riding a few weeks ago.

Nice pair you have, I think it's great to have at least a couple. So glad I kept my hybrid, the road bike is great, but not always appropriate! I must say though, getting onto a road bike again after many years has been a revelation! Suddenly you can cover proper distance.

Proper addictive this cycling lark!

Good posts, both - and a nice pair of bikes there, Chris. Plenty of reading matter on the road bike! Have fun!
