Here's my ride

Ironhorse Sunday World cup.

Now thats a bike! none of this commuter nonsense

that's just

I borrowed one of those for a couple of days this summer in the Alps and they are stunning to ride!

My CUBE Attention 09, absolutely love it! Got back into riding a couple of months ago, promptly replaced the 12 year old GIANT with this and haven't looked back. I have also signed up to the Manchester Mountain Bikers club, so far I've been on 1 night ride with them, down the Longendale trail and then across the moors (which was interesting in the dark!). Just looking for more places to go now!



I went for the CUBE purely on looks as I knew nothing about modern MTB's, it also had good reviews on line. I'm glad I did in the end because its much better to ride than a mates GT which he bought at the same time as me.

how much is a replacement chain! I'd imagine you'd get through them at a fair rate too hauling 4 kids too! Awesome beast though, I like crazy stuff like that. How much?
