:cool: like it!

cheers man.

determained to keep it clean.
keeping it in my room so it doesn't get scratched  :grin:

For pedals I would deffo recomend superstar ones, they are super thin and stop you hitting rocks and sh!t.

Went out on a ride today with loughborough students xc club, the ride leader was fit to say the least and im pretty much dead now! only about 20 miles but it was literally all a sloggy wet mud bath due to the snow

Not paying £43 for pedals lol

Why not? You pay £70 for dead fish to power your car, why not pay a £43 one off payment to aid powering your bike?
