Thug Posted May 17, 2007 Share Just finalised the deal - I'm picking the bike up at 6 tonight. Must say that I can highly recommend Mikes Bikes in Greenside. They're setting my bike up as we speak' date=' plus they agreed to match the price of their out-of-stock competition. Now the 'getting back into shape' bit starts! [/quote'] Congratulations Hog, welcome to the world of Dirt. Hope you have many happy k's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BBi Posted May 17, 2007 Share Enjoy the new bike. Just remember, a bike has a soul, and is part of your family now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She gave me the look of death when the bike went into the spare room last night instead of the garage! (Note to self - if you ever want to get laid again, get a new lock for the garage so the bike can sleep there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichH Posted May 17, 2007 Share Ah, so the battle to keep the bikes close begins!! Mine occassionally spend time in the dining room, but my hubbie fights this vehemently and so my new baby repeatedly gets relegated to the garage, sob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowpoke Posted May 17, 2007 Share Hog, rather get a new woman... one who knows the value of a bike as a fully fledged member of the familly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tridude Posted May 17, 2007 Share The wife recently forced me to move my bikes out of the house to make space for the baby. Well....I managed to keep 2 bikes inside. The other 3 had to move on... to the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog_ Posted May 21, 2007 Share Heya! Yeah, sorry about yesterday - I only got back from the Doors at about 4 - didn't manage to get out of bed till almost 11! The bike is great! Although I'm thinking that they used to make the seats a lot softer when I was in high school. Will need to get pants this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty Posted May 21, 2007 Share My first bike was a Giant Rincon. Its a really nice bike and in your price range. I did a couple of 100km + road races (with slicks) and quite a bit of mountain biking with it and had absolutely no issues with it even though the poor thing got washed about twice in 2 years and never got any lube!!! Good luck! If you are anything like most of us, you will be spending way more than your budget in future!Ratty2007-05-21 06:28:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
