Hi All

Having deliberated and debated for what seems like an eternity I finally picked up my new CycloCross bike on Friday. What a beast! On saturday morning I took it for a spin down a load of trails and through loads of mud and crap - it handled it beautifully! Then on Sunday I went out for a 40 miler with my mate on his carbon and pretty much kept up. This is a very accomplished bike! First impressions are that it is slower off the lights and a bit rubbish at hills but blatting along the flat it is a dream, much more comfortable than my Ribble carbon road bike.

The bike is KinesisUK CycloCross frame with custom bits fitted by Wills Wheels in Manchester - can't recommend them highly enough.

I did get it very mucky but then spent most of saturday night cleaning it in the company of a bottle of wine - felt very wrong for some reason!
