It climbs hills like a bike that's great at climbing hills. It descends like, erm, a bike that's really great at climbing hills. A little frisky but fine once you're used to it.
No problems with old tubes - everything was new - took me a year of sneaking purchases past the boss before 'build day'. The photo is a couple of years old - it's had some action since then so has a few battle scars - most of which were picked up in a single day at Coed Y Brenin (high saddle and 80mm forks is probably not the best set up - for Coed Y Brenin - I'm a southerner, the South Downs is my normal stomping ground).

In short; yes. The design of the 'single release' cleats is pretty much identical to the original ones. I've never tried the 'multi release' ones though so I couldn't comment on those.

M Trax - add paint
I have just rescued an early M Trax from the bin men. It needed a respray, so have stripped it of its paint. Now I need some advice - what coulour should it be, and should I get a professional job - or home can of spray?
I would of loved to get it powdercoated, but those bonded lugs...

Cheers. Its not a top of the range one. Crossbar and Down tube are titanium, the rest is steel.
I only got the frame, headset, bb, single rear brake and seat bolt. All scrap bar the frame (which has a slight dink in the crossbar), and i had to drill out the seat bolt.
I intend to make it a commuting bike with some of the spares i have hanging around. Although it may become a v nice commuter....

bsurf, can't wait to see a photo of the MT5 frame. I have an MT5 myself and have never seen any photos of others (sinnetts Team Dyna-Tech being the exception).
