    I am in love with this bike. It is all I think about.

    My current bike is in for a service and chain changes and I think I need a back up quality bike. This one costs £600.


    Maybe is is because I am off the porn

    A brilliant coincidence at work where they have announced they have signed up to a cycle scheme!

    I can get this bike for £450!

    Dreams do come true!

    I have to invest in some good locks as it is liable to get stolen.

    I picked my new bike up from decathlon today!

    It is lightweight and takes a while to get use to. The wind was very strong today!.

    That is nice. Is that steel? How often do you ride it?

    Red is a bit loud I think mines is better.

    No it's aluminium. Carbon forks.
    It's by the same people as yours but yes yours is one spec better if I remember rightly.

    Don't ride it too much at the moment. Well, like 4 times a week but only to the gym and back.

    Yes just noticed it was B Twin. I will ride mines to the station which is 10 minutes and only couple miles. It is too nice to get real dirty and I did not want to fit mudguards because it does not look good on the bike. How many miles do you ride it?

    I found out I will only have to pay £409 back because of the cycle scheme so got a good deal as it cost £600 and was reduced £750.

    I took my bike out today and I did not enjoy it and it was not £600 well spent.

    Felt every bump in the road, bent over in a odd position, can not get to the breaks in an emergency and worried that the bike would get nicked all day!

    You'll get used to it really quickly. You won't look back (especially because you'll fall over if you do).

    Hold the handles not on the place you would on a mountain bike but either on the 'drops' (the curved down bit) or on top but forward, so palms facing in towards each other not back as the would be on mountain bike. You need to be able to reach brakes and unless you have tiny hands you can if you hold the bars in the right place. It's hard to explain.

    I will give it a week otherwise it is going in the shed. It is like having an expensive Ferrari but not liking the ride.

    On this picture, I would have the join between my thumb and index finger on top of the bars but right at the front, directly behind the gear shits, so your palms face in towards each other. That way you have good control but can still reach the brakes.
