that looks expensive Trev - prehaps it might be better to put it out of its misery

Nice pedals Rob; besides you're the Happy Otter - shouldn't you be having the time of your life?

BTW what's the bike - since moving from the Pennines to the flat(ish) lands mounting biking aint quite the challenge it once was. Having said that a good friend of ours broke his collar bone into 3 pieces after coming off his bike (just goes to show you can have too much of a good thing).

Regards,
Chris

It's an Orange P7 Pro.

Standard apart from the pedals, a 185mm front disc and a rather smooth, just fitted today Chris King headset.

Well worth the money for smoothness and it'll last a lifetime.

Very nice - good tasteful paintjob too. Mines a Specialized Rockhopper (A2 I think - got to go to the garage to look) but with a bit of numpty blue - doesn't look serious enough if you ask me. Although the disc brakes did save my skin when confronted by a car filling the whole of the available road on a fast downhill - he was coming up!

No rocks to hop around here though - biggest hazard is wizzing down a mapped bridleway only to discover about a mile of soft sand :sad: Mind you the soft stuff did dump my other half off her bike into the only bit of water for miles; we never did get the sand coloured stain from her top from that one.

Chris
