I don't know, I think he should take it back. He didn't ask us all sorts of questions as to what type of bike and which material and what brand he should buy and many others that come to mind. Now go and ride the wheels off.

Well she's only got herself to blame she started this cycling habit off.
We where out for a sunday stroll and all these people where passing us on bikes. she said we should give that a go.
Next week walking through shopping centre passed a bike shop and she said lets go in and have a look.
Walked out 30min later with his and hers bikes. lol

Did something like that about 6 mo. ago. Went to the LBS for something I can't remember and bought my first Cyclocross bike....a Raleigh RX 1.0. Have to say I absolutely love this bike.

Every time I walk into my LBS I plan on doing just that. But then reason gets the best of me and I walk out with only the real stuff I needed.

Bill,
You should start buying your stuff online as we don't want to see you move.

I never walk into an LBS with enough money to do anything other than what I came there to do.

Congratulations.
There are advantages to being 6'6". I can go into the bike shop without fear of finding something I can't resist on the rack.

Will take some better Pics
Went for a 30k ride yesterday arvo.
Was very windy usually would suffer pretty bad on the hybrid.
This bike made so much easier.
Thinking the whole time while riding, why haven't I got one of these sooner....
First thing i did when i got back was get rid of the it seat was terrible.
