MTB Riders………….

[Gunner]

Come on, how many of you have now got road bikes as well as your MTB since joining the site (reference point only) or intending to get a road bike.

And why………….. ❓

Although equally, any road riders been tempted by the lure of the Moor 😈 😈

😉

Well, when I joined the site I only had one road bike. Now I have 3 so something’s happening

[Steve Kish]

Had both for years. Road bike since 1966 and MTB since 1992. 😀

Mainly a road rider, wan’t to do more mtb’in but my bike isnt the best suited for it, and I don’t have any mtbin buddies, although some of us did do a 40 mile towpath ride which was good fun.

[Steve Kish]

Same with me.

We just generally go off-road like a pair of 14-year old kids, sprinting up every small hill, daring each other to go down frightening descents and riding through as much mud and puddle water as possible. 😀

Yeah, but you probably stay more upright than we do and besides, we’re both more than 40 years old than you! 😉 😀 …………….. at our age, we should know better!! 😀 😀

Harry,

Procrastination is the silent consonant in MTB, is one of my favourite sayings.

I always find that road riders are much more decisive when it comes to selecting and purchasing a machine, whereas MTB’ers seem to dilly and dally over a variety of soul searching issues in the quest for their ideal cycle.

Perhaps thats more down to the greater variety of machines that’s available, I don’t know, but it is something that is also obvious in a lot of the posts in the MTB Forum under the “Recommend me a bike for……..” type post.

Yeah so they say,but i think someone has forgot to tell the weatherman,unfortunatly the new bike didn’t come with snow tyres 😆

[HarryB]

Good choice. You won’t be disappointed with that. What size? Where did you get it from? Pictures?

You do know that carbon melts in the rain?
