After buying myself a Giant Talon a couple of years ago for the purpose of riding down to the shops and just for general fitness, I soon discovered the abundance of XC and a couple of more steeper tracks through the shrub around the town. While the Talon served me well, I soon felt I wanted something more substantial.
Enter my new love …..
