it is good, apart from a really loud squeaky front brake its all good :)

the dogs got cuts and bite wounds all over but shes getting there, other dog was possibly an illegal breed and was a loose "guard dog" from a local shop, he just walked out the shop and attacked my dog, police wont do anything, dog wardens paying a visit later to check our dog then going to talk to the other dog owner, see what happens :(
 
just trying to get used to not slamming the brakes on and scraping my feet down the toad to stop and having so many gears is quite weird too.
 
i have the same bike, had it from new.

bit of a bargain at £50, to make them handle better i switched to a shorter stem, wider bars and some lighter forks.

stem and bars will get changed soon but forks are staying, deffinately a bargain at £50 could break it and sell all the bits for double what I paid, you had any issues with the rear mech hanger?
got told that they were rubbish quality and snap easily?
 
some pics of my relaxed sunday ride, nice ride around the local park "walsall arboreteum" went around at a nice slow relaxed pace with some earphones in listening to bon jovi :)
was a nice ride :)

RR wont be posting anything for a while,
he`s not long got out of hospital after a accident on his bike this morning
road rash down the back of both of his legs and some cuts and bruising all over
bike is fine, not got much of a clue as to what happened yet as hes not talking much
all I know is what I was told by the police, he was riding down a main road center of the road with the flow of traffic slipped on something bike went sliding and so did he
