Received this in the post the other day 
An Attitude has been on my "Want" list since I first had a quick ride on one in the early 90's. Initially I looked for the Team/Dolomite paint scheme, but when I saw this one for sale I was attracted by the Horizon Linear Fade paint, and oddly by the fact that it wasn't in mint condition.
From a distance the paintwork looks fine, but close up it has its fair share of chips and scratches, it's certainly not a candidate for a respray, but neither is it "Garage Queen" material, which is lucky for me because I like to actually ride my bikes
This one will get used and probably abused, but I won't get too upset about any new scratches or scrapes.
For its first outing I stuck on some Spin wheels & slick tyres. It'll be going off-road next week.
At 21.5lbs it feels light! Stiff, and accelerates quickly with skinny slick tyres on.
I may see about some new shifters as the XT Push/Push style is not my favourite, but I'll ride it a while and see how we get on.
