Noooooooo! don't get that one! it's a downhill bike all the geometry is wrong for Flat land and Cross counrty riding, all the angles are geared for Downhill.

You know I'm the man to advise you, I'll take you to Lesiure Lake at weekend and we'll get you kitted out, here's mine you've seen it:

i've got a saracen mantra 3. it's not a rich dudes bike, but it does the job - i sometimes do 10m a day to and from work.. or saturday morning 30m runs round the local park - nothing too hardcore.

I can easily do 30m - that is metres not miles.

lol.

after first 2 laps (2miles each) the body calms down, stops sweating profusely etc.. and it's just a steady rythmn

looking forward to some good weather soon so i can get 'race fit'  B-)
