I got quite into cycling last year but that was unfortunately cut short after my garage was broken into and I had my Specialized semi-noob bike stolen. Naturally, they also dragged it down the side of the car so a couple of panels needed a respray. Insurance payout has only just arrived and coupled with the cycle-to-work scheme where business owners can claim back tax and vat, my new 3.5k bike suddenly came in a lot cheaper.
It’s a Cannondale Carbon Rush SL1, top of the range carbon lefty. I’ve not had a chance to ride it yet (at home with cold) but it’s currently parked in my living room looking incredibly sexy.
Got a monster 100km ride booked for April so training needs to start asap or I’m gonna look like the idiot who went into the cycle shop with an empty wallet and said “make me look like robocop please”.
Black bike is my stolen one. The one that was stolen. Stolen from me. Owned by me but nicked. Stolen. Taken without consent.
Up for a jolly in wales then?
Perhaps when I’m a bit better – not even ridden it yet, dying from man cold.
Recently i’ve just started toget back into abit of mountain biking.
Had acouple of visit’s to Forrest Pines (nottingham) and Connock (staffordshire).
Great fun, one you get back on the bike you’ll love it.
I just wish i had the spare cash to get back into it on a bike like yours…..i’m starting out on a GT Agressor XC1 (hard tail), alittle different to my origional cannondale ‘Y’ frame of circa 14 years ago.
Still, all good ….except for my slight ‘off’ on the jumps @ Pines ….but it’s all good …
Jeesus mate, you must be a real pro to warrant a top end race bike like that ??
I’m sure you wouldn’t have spent that kind of money unless you were a very experienced MTB’er…right ??
national american handmade bicycle show. what a waste of money!
[...] security lights on. I didn’t even have to go and investigate to know what had happened. My awesome new bike had been stolen. [...]
