I understand. They want to maintain a steady supply of patients?

Not this time. As I couldn't wait until friday I took it home boxed and assembled it myself!

Well the GT Aggressor XC3 must have been a good bike. After 3 days it was stolen from my workplace. The cycle area is in a section of busy car park, patrolled regularly by security and my bike was chained up properly. Nobody saw a thing, apparently.

Luckily it was insured so I should get a replacement soon. But it doesn't stop you feeling gutted.

I've got the GT XC3£ - I bought it boxed, so spent a couple minutes setting it up - I love it to pieces.... the only thing I didn't like was the seat - considering I have a reallylyy bony buttocks, it's not too comfortable for me... but an easy thing to swap anyway... GT all the way I think.....

Off to pick it up in the morning and then off for a 12 mile round trip to the old mans, can't wait. . . . not to see the old man mind, see him all the time!

Just finished my 12 mile trip and I love the bike. Just goes to show how enjoyable a ride can be with the right size frame and easy to use gears. Only fault I can find (and it's a very small one) is the seat. I'm either out of practice or it's no padding what-so-ever as my arse is throbbing!

Pleased with my purchase though, thanks for the advice folks.

Good stuff :0)

It takes time to get used to any seat. As long as you ride often your butt will soon toughen up. If you find that the seat still hurts after a few months it might not be the right shape for you, just try another seat. I've changed the seat on every bike I've had.

And the seat on the GT is a proper bum killer! I could still feel it 3 days after mine got pinched!
