To all those who wanted photos, I do have a digicam but it's a crappy 640x480 one... speed or quality, pick one ;) http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/temp/enduro1.jpg http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/temp/enduro2.jpg It's an '06 Specialized Enduro, if you hadn't guessed from the filenames (I think all the pedallers here are roadies). My brother-in-law is a cycle mechanic and knew that I'd been thinking about buying a new bike, but I was undecided as to what kind of bike I was after (I had my eye on an Epic, which is something I'm still interested in). One of his colleagues was wanting to sell one of his bikes so he offered it to me. Being a bike mechanic, the previous owner is able to get parts at cost price so he'd made a few decent upgrades, and I know the bike has been well looked after (it's only a few months old anyway). Considering the spec I got a pretty good deal, and now I get some good karma at the bike shop. I took it for a test ride last week before buying it... it's a lot easier to get up the hill than I expected, and coming back down is quite an experience compared to my other bike (an oldish hardtail which weighs about the same as this thing). The good news is that the weather has cleared so I should be hitting the hills tomorrow morning! My thumb is still sore from my crash a few weeks back, but I won't let that get in the way.
