Newbie Got Himself a Bike

Sooooo, A few weeks ago i posted about going to look at 2 bikes the:
Ridgeback flight 05 and Kona Jake. Sometime last week i went to the guys house and had a look at the bikes. at first he brought out the Ridgeback and i took it for a ride and immediately fell in love. It was smooth, perfect height and lightweight. After taking it for a spin, I didn't bother look at the Jake, It was a bit smaller and the tyres wasn't so great on them. So i agreed and shook hands with seller and departed with the bike. Since I've been online non stop looking for bits and bobs for the bike. I bought a lock, mudguards, spare tubes etc, and my g.f bought me a cycle computer :) (a bit keen lol). This week i rode to and from work, to my g.f's house and out when i have to run errands I'm very pleased with the purchase. I have a few other commuters at work also who said the bike was really good buy and has a good spec for the price paid, so i can't complain. So now I am now part of the Commuting Community and LOVING IT!!! (I bet your all eager to see lol) So here she is.... http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261273http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261274http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261275http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261276 P.S I'll now be posting and annoying you with my stories and questions now :) as.x |
Nice bike. You need fenders and a rack on there. :)

Congrats, and nice bike!
|
That looks like the beginnings of just the most perfect commuter!
Congrats! Ya done real good there, boy! :thumb: |
Nice choice.
Although you didn't ride Jake, I think you'll be happier with the disc brakes on your bike, versus the cantis on the Jake. |
Beautiful bike. Pity my phone browser is messing up the big photos, will have to take a look again when I'm on the computer.

Whoa! I like that traditional looking frame. Nice rear triangle and mostly flat top bar. Sweeeeeeet!
|
Thanks guy :)
I got a clip on mudguard and a front 1 2nd hand for a fiver so couldn't complain. They seem to be working well in the great english weather. And the disk brakes are definately needed in the weather we've been having recently!! :/ As.x |
