Sounds like a reasonable stock bike then? I don't know the specs for MTB too well. I see all Deore XT and that used to be pretty good back in the days I had a MTB. I assume all the other boys gave the nod as well so I'm sure it's all good. Ah, welcome to the Giant club. Sounds like a reasonable stock bike then? I don’t know the specs for MTB too well.

That's almost a minute off the previous record! Hmmm.... going to have to have another crack when I come back next time. I feel so unfit now after 2 weeks of doing not much. Can't wait to get back on the bike (but it's freezing here). End of 2008 = 2542.8 Wow… congrats on the new TYP record for 1 in 20. That’s almost a minute off the previous record!

My lead won't last long though. I wanted to ride yesterday but just couldn't work myself up to it. Would have managed a work on my bad tan line though. Still, I managed to ride three days out of four. Four days into January and I shoot off the front. My lead won’t last long though. I wanted to ride yesterday but just couldn’t work myself up to it.
