This bike is reviewed in August 2003 edition of 'What Mountain Bike' and gets a blue star for 'Best
of the Test'.
Bought one this evening at Halfords for £289.99 and got £50 worth of free accessories (applies to
all bikes over two hundred quid).
Came in a big box partially assembled and my friend built it up in about half an hour,
We went for a run and it performs really well. I love it. Very lightweight too. Even I can lift it.
Steering is aggressive - but after five minutes you soon get the hang, and it adds immensely to the
fun factor. Large chunky tyres hold the road well.
Worth checking out. It's got lots of alloy bits and brand names. Oh, and 24 gears from the
usual stable.
It also goes in the back on a very small car - VW Polo (if you fold down the rear seats take the
front wheel off). Stern first is best.
Thanks to all in this group who helped me make this decision.

PS Only one prob...Where on earth does the front (clear) reflector go? Round which 'bar'? ;-)
