no brand new, but just being cautious.
I was looking at a boardman comp but it was 300 quid more.

Whats wrong with the Continental tyres?
I wouldn't bother replacing them until you need too.

p.s. It's not a road bike.

Too many categories, what have I got then?

It's a mountain bike - it's got suspension and it's heavy.
Not that the weight is going to make a massive difference while you're still a fat biffer.

13.5 kgs apparently, light enough to one hand it over stuff so bonus.

Yeah. I meant relatively.
Unless you buy a hefty steel city bike covered in baskets and bells and ting then most bikes these days can be lifted over stuff.

yeh its heavier than a road bike
mine is 9kg and that's carbon fork alloy frame, full carbon is even lighter

Nope, I'm in the lycra brigade unfortunatly
shaves 5 minutes off my commute time though
(, Wed 27 Jul 2011, 14:55, Reply)
My commute time is six minutes.
To shave five minutes off it I'd have to pack the lycra into my anal cavity and set it on fire.
(, Wed 27 Jul 2011, 14:58, Reply)
Mine was 43 minutes. now its 38
It's great, I can eat and drink like a fat bastard and stay trim due to the extra 1200 calories a day I'm burning.
