Hi folks, just a hello to you all after I finally registered on the site (been reading it for a while now).
Got my 15 year old Raleigh Mountain style bike off the garage wall a couple of months back to use as alternative to the rising gym prices, but having got fed up of the brakes being hopeless no matter what I did I went out and picked up a few month old Giant Boulder for a decent price.
So far really enjoying it all, and can see a tourer/road bike on the cards in the near future, since even with slick tyres, saddle back and the like, the Boulder doesnt seem to suit much less than a fairly upright riding position - 'tis a mountain bike though I guess.
Anyhow, have enjoyed reading, and now hopefully will be able to contribute too.
Cheers
