Google?

Google?

Google probably brought the OP here.

Welcome. What do you need to know? Have you adjusted and lubricated it?

Have you adjusted and lubricated it?

Did it need adjusting and lubricating?

What info do you need? And what difference will it make? Google tells me it's a plain old entry level MTB, so if that's what you want and if the bike is functional, just ride it.

Dunno. Just trying to make a newcomer feel welcome. A little light-hearted chat, you know.

 

[hoppym27]

Just wondering how old it is...any feedback or tips....just being geeky that's all

 

[hoopdriver]

Quite right! And he may well simply be curious about the bicycle he bought and/or perhaps want to break the ice and start a conversation. Welcome!

Impossible to guess, unless you can post a pic of the bike...

Welcome HoppyM

What kind of feedback or tips are you looking for?

Google probably brought the OP here.

Maybe this post brought the OP here. Fairly high up when you Google the OP's bike.

Plenty on here in terms of basic maintenance and more in depth jobs. Any specifics you can always drop a question in the relevant section as there are some knowledgeable members who will be able to help you out.

I can't offer any specific advice on your bike as I am not familiar with it but yes it seems like a solid starter bike depending on what you want to use it for.

Welcome Hoppym27.
I don't know much about your bike but I should imagine it will be easy enough to sort any issues it may have. Feel free to ask any questions whether it be bike maintenance, to cycle rides.
Hope you enjoy your new bike buddy.
