Looking at MTB

[fossyant]

Cant believe looking at Bird website they have a lack of parts to build bike at moment lol

I was looking the other day, and they look out of stock. The frames aren't in, which hints of new bikes ? They do production runs - the frames are made overseas. They are more towards bespoke than Whyte. I do like the Whyte styling ! Both have great reviews.

I hired bikes at trail centres. More and more have a good selection of hire bikes or demo days.

Yes - do a demo day !

Keep you in suspence...
Now need to get helmet, gloves, shorts and shoes. Flat pedals at moment

Basically I got 400 quid off RRP

Just saw that you oredered the MTB, I'm excited to see what it is !

Was going to suggest an Orange P7, steel hardtails are fantastic in my opinion.

I believe the Ragley is steel !!

Could have got upgraded forks but the Rochshox 150 RCT3 reviews I found didn't rate them as much as the FOX the come with the bike

I was looking at the 901 and the only thing that put me off was the colour. I see someone on here has one in the Lime Yellow.

Would that be me?

What size is that frame ?

Great bikes. From the look of that head tube angle I bet it fly's downhill.
