Hi all

Back in the saddle after a gap of around 14 years with my first *real* bike. I got myself a Specialized Hardrock Sport back in August 2004, and I've been on it pretty much everyday since then - mostly commuting to and from work (about a 5 mile round trip) and forest/riverside trails. I'm 29 and studying for a maths degree, whilst working part time in administration.

I've been lurking here ever since the Kryptonite story broke back in September (like thousands of others I guess). I refrained from setting up an account at the time however I've been impressed by the wealth of information on the boards and by how friendly folk seem.

Speak to some of you soon I hope...
