New Lad From County Durham

[Pat "5mph"]

Well I hope I get into cycling - it looks canny, although I am not sure I'll turn into someone who spends ridiculous amounts of money on it!

... 2 months and your finances are doomed!

Haha I didn't get an email about this thread! I have just read through the messages!!! Well my initial £500 budget has been stretched so I can afford the boardman CX (as recommended by a lad I know who is into his bikes - I've said all this in my "Jazz's start from scratch" thread so I am sorry for those who are reading me repeat myself!!!)

I'll be wanting fairly decent gear so I reckon after about £1200 I'll draw a line under it

Let's hope!!

Roubaix Murry of this parish and his mate Woody (the shadow is me) on the second day of our C2C sojourn, crossing into The best county in the UK to be born in (did I mention I was born in Co. Durham? )

Welcome to the forum Jazz, do the C2C you won't regret it, just make sure you get some hillclimbing practice in first.
