Picking up a shiny new tricross sport tomorrow morning.

I am thusly happy. Had a bloody good afternoon at the office as well so all in all I am having a good day.

Just thought I would share!

Thanks!

So that will be my bike then. Noticed a decent increase in my average speed last night on a short ride. Nothing major but pleasing. SPD's are so good when you get used to them, but a little scary wjile you are getting the hang of it!

Very happy with the bike, although I think at some stage I might beef up the brakes a bit.

Nice bike pappa lurve,

I too have just treated myself to a new steed. After placing orders for (in this order) a Trek 8000, A Kona Kula, a Pinnacle Evo 3, and a Felt Q920, i cancelled all those and have at last decided to buy british and independent, and go for a Merlin Malt 4 (with full LX spec) (http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/acatalog/Merlin_Bikes.html) . Plus i love white frames with black hardware. Have not got it yet, but can't wait. Lets do the canal ride sometime this summmer

Did a bit of the canal the other day, really nice to ride although gets a bit dodgy in a couple of places.

Doffo up for it.

Congrats on your new bike as well chap. Enjoy.
