New Toy!

[Chris Eilbeck]

http://www.hyperspace.org.uk/new-bike.jpg

Picked it up this morning and rode it back to work in the sun, felt
really good. Still needs a little tinkering to get everything perfect
but the first five miles were good. Bought it from the LBS up the
hill, not the one round the corner, or the one that's a pain in the
**** to get to. They were really good and got it in very quickly for
me, and gave me 50 quid worth of accessories ;o) a reasonable lock, a
very good Crank Bros pump and a fairly aggressive winker.

If only it was a little warmer outside!

I like the snow too - having a Finnish sauna in my back garden, I get to do
the rolling around in the snow bit!

Brand new and seemingly quite limited availability, only 450 made this
year the LBS up the hill told me.

Well if it was a bit cold, you could have taken the photos in the
kitchen...

Very nice, but shouldn't the picture be taken in your kitchen?
