I ordered it 3 weeks ago, it's a Specialized Rockhopper. I'm going to get the seat post cut down and will probably get a ladies saddle fitted too before I take it away.

Well done, I just went round Richmond park on mine, and was quicker than some guy in his road gear + bike. Although he probably was doing three laps wink

a nice bike, hope you enjoy it. i am somewhat concerned that you need the seat post cut down though as unless you are really small as they should be able to fit you onto the right size without having to resort to that sort of thing and if you are that small, the length of the top tube becomes an issue....

anyway, enjoy it!

I went for the last one they had which was a 17 inch. They have only taken a little bit off the post to make me just a little more comfortable on it. I have had the gents saddle taken off and put a specialized ladies one on.
