Hi all,
Been on the forum for a little bit now and thought I'd introduce myself. The name is Dean, I'm currently living in Enfield.
A couple of friends from work are avid bikers already and have been talking my ear off about mountain biking for ages now. Finally decided to find out what all the fuss was about.
So we arranged a day out to Leith Hill in the mud and wet... It was fantastic! Managed to do some decent "roll ins"? Anyway they were steep as hell and I had minimal brakes on a friends Hardtail commuter bike so that made life interesting!. Gave his full sus a go and just loved it.
Think I'm hooked now and have set my eyes on the Canyon Strive AL 8.0 (thoughts?)
