Aye eBay, not riden this particular one yet, but my old one was perfect for me (can't really go into detail, I havn't riden for years and have nothing to compare to...)The guy you know, I say good on him, I won't sell this one for the world even if I never even ride it, selling my old one was the biggest cycling mistake I ever made!I'll get some more pics when it's done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
