Re: The MTB thread
After much umming and arring I've finally ordered a replacement for my trusty old steed - new Kona Kula on it's way to me some time next week - Woohoo!!!
I've almost felt guilty living slap bang in the heart of all the 7 Stanes trails and not owning a bike decent enough to make the most of them. Yet another expensive hobby to drain my already crippled finances, yaaay! |

Re: The MTB thread
I've just ordered the same on the cyclescheme. Waiting for my voucher to arrive, and then the bike of course (not many 2010's in the country yet apparently).

Re: The MTB thread
What are your views on online vs local bike shop?
I'd ideally love to support local business and local economy, however, their prices are double what Wiggle offer. So many bike parts can be had for a lot less online, I find it hard to justify paying more at the local shop. Your views would be interesting. |
