I'm currently scouring eBay for a bargain.

by bargain you mean stolen bike  :huh:

If you're looking for a decent second hand bike, then pinkbike, bikeradar (forum), singletrackworld are the best places to look, the equivalent of pistonheads

I had to change the pink cables and hoses though :lipsrsealed:

Rides as well as the black one, forks are sweet, the 10 speed is lovely and the brakes are powerful!

Only thing is theres quiet a few scratches on this one where as the black one was mint when I bought it but they obviously didn't put me off :cool:

Mk4 breaking down....I don't believe it :lipsrsealed: :grin:

Not long till Megavalanche now, hows the training going?
