Re:
I have a Lapierre X-Control, love it to bits, rides nice, not too bad weight wise and above all I like it cos it's not a bloody Merida or a Scott that everyone here seems to be riding.

I mean my Nan likes Vera Lynn, I like The Prodigy....all a matter of taste.
This is my modern bike and frankly I personally think it's stunning. Others think it is a monstrosity! I love it just as much as my retro bike, but they are totally different animals used for completely different purposes and I don't think modern bikes can be judged the same way.
