Hold it there Tiger- nothings been arranged yet. Will have to check with Toons to see if he's still free.

No worries Si, I've got the go ahead anyway, so just let me know if Toons can swing it.

Original iDrive! Just about ticks the retro box, and it surely will in the coming years. Proper XC, surprisingly light and very capable.

I've struggled with mine, but now that I've got a proper length front fork on and sorted out the riding position I'm a happy camper. High BB take's a bit of getting used to as well, mind. I'll be bringing it to Kirroughtree, if you're going yir welcome to a wee burl.
