My new(ish) bike.
I bought this as a replacement for my sadly stolen Stumpjumper that replaced
my Ridgeback. This is the best bike I've ever had, and thanks to having
had a job which paid actual money I managed to get some suspension forks
for it too. It's very nice now thank-you-very much. Being the great poser
I am, I quite liked the fact that I used to get comments about this bike
as I rode past. But this is no longer the case. What can I do? I guess
the only thing to do now is another upgrade. How much was that Merlin frame
again? I'm sure I've £2,500 around here somewhere... Or mabey
I'll just stick with what I've got, eh?
