Looks like a Crosstrail pro disc to me - a bike for champions (and more than 1 Xdriver apparently). Ive got one and a Secteur Elite. Looking forward to taking te Crosstrail to the Olympic mountain bike track one day soon (when open)

It looks like a rockhopper or perhaps a hardrock pro to me.

My son has a hardrock disc which I have upgraded a few bits on.

For road I have a basic Allez for winter/ bad weather and Tarmac Expert for 'best.'

My mtb's are a Camber Expert fs and as a break from the big S a steel Kona Blink ht.

I can only imagine the dribbling which will follow the reading of this:

:P :))

Just round the corner from me.  Anyone [seriously] interested in me trying to get a pic or two of him/his bike?

After talking car mags elsewhere on the forum, any bike mags you guys read?

I sub Singletrack and Cyclist.

Also anyone use any cycling forums?

I did a stint with a road mag (can't remember which) and then MTBUK but have stopped that a few months back, felt there was very little new stuff. Just old articles rehashed.

My father like What Mtb and Cycling Plus and I find them too light on content.

Singletrack can be brilliant at times, although sometimes it is ok to mention the bike you are riding in the adventure!

Cyclist is fairly new (6 issues IIRC) but really is what I was looking for in a road mag.

I'll have a look out for the Cyclist mag as I will be doing more road work this year in a vain attempt to get fit!  ::)
