Claud Butler Cape Wrath? or Ridgeback M3/M4?

Personally I would never recommend a bike named after a motorway (or two). Are you sure that you've
got the name right?

I think it's an M45 looking at the catalogue.

I was struck by this too. Perhaps the OP is an American?

I've ridden river beds both crossways and lengthways (and not just dry ones)

I presume he means dried up river beds. Either that or he's not too confident on his handling skills
for the bridlepaths. :-)

Despite not being much of a Mountain Biker (quantity or quality), so have I. And though I've
recently been spending a bit of bandwidth moaning about inappropriate suspension on lots of
bikes, this is one place where I'd definitely prefer to have at least front sus and with a good
amount of travel.

I've never seen a dried up river bed where I've ridden, but then again, I've never ridden (off-road)
in the South- East.

Unless of course it was the M62

Or the M5...

I'm ignoring everyone below. OK, I made a simple error in typing...it was late...i needed sleep.
Bunch of wussies. Back on your trikes and stick to the sandpit.

The M3 and M4 are models from the new Diamondback range. There are a few out there.

All I wanted to know is what folk thought about them.

Simple question. Obviously not so simple answer.

The Cape Wrath got a good review in the last edition of MBR and came top of the pile IIRC.

And wasn't there a Trek Ladbroke Grove Street? Oh, no, maybe not...
