Hi S.S.,

Fair point-I should've added the link!

http://www.bikeoutlet.co.uk/products/Claud_Butler_Pinewood_2009-433-11.html

Although it says £400,when you add it to your basket it comes in at £359,with delivery at £13.

I'm 99.99% tempted,hah-hah!

Cheers,

Simon.

Yeah looks good, if you don't like the frame or the way it rides you've got a great set of parts to transfer over onto a new frame.

Go for it as 'ride_whenever' said you could always just get another frame cheap and strong what will you be using it for?

Hello All,

Job done-bike ordered,although when I'll get it may be at Royal Mail's discretion,hah-hah!

I'm a MTB beginner (roadie until now) so this'll be for XC malarkey,nothing more.

Cheers,

Simon.
