Puts my £100 Toys 'R' Us special that I use to shame, both of them.

I'm due to get a new bike soon through the cycle to work scheme as I am racking up some serious miles and it's wearing out quickly!

I do have a Specialized that I use as well but not often as that is in Sheffield and most of my time is in Hull.

I had an Orange 223, Giant AC and a Base SJ26 a few years ago and then I got my car, sold everything and I now work in a bike shop and couldn't resist another bike so here are a few of mine.......

My Orange when I had it a few years ago....


and all 3 bikes (all now sold)


My Lapierre Froggy 518 which I own now.




Still looks like new as ive barely had a chance to use it and I may have also fell off a few weeks ago on my 1st proper time out on it and fractured my ribs.

**In future I need to remember I havn't been on a bike in a few years and not pull on the brakes before a jump and then not get stopped in time and hit it anyway and end up with a saddle stuck in my chest**

The bike will get used sometime and I will be hitting big jumps again soon!

As said before, this is my £100 Toys 'R' Us special. It's creaking and groaning more and more and the oil just isn't working as good as it used to! But it has done 375 miles since the beginning of February so not too bad. I did upgrade the headset and bars as the others just rusted to death!

I've also got a Specialized Hard Tail. Not sure of the exact model but I bought some Megura Julie, is that the name? Still very new to MTB, hydraulic disc brakes but my fitness isn't up to much off roading yet.

Not a brand that usually gets much positive mention, but I have done a fair few miles on this along tow paths and a bit of off road, and done te "Follow the dog" trail over Canock chase a few times too, without problem. They even built it right for me.



The additions I have made are bottle and cage, mini pump, saddle bag (to carry spare innertube, tyre levers, scab puncture patches, chain tool, multi tool and chain links) and a cateye wireless vectra computer. EDIT: and spd pedals

All in all, Im happy with it :)

Well heres my bike, Charge Blender, love the bike, shame it hasn't been ridden for ages but will start using it again soon. Ooh and seat isnt usually that low down, just I took these photos after spraying the rims and fitting new bits and pieces to it :thumb:









Its actually been polished with SRP and then got 2 coats of AG HD Wax on atm :lol:

As promised earlier. It's an awful pic as the camera on my phone is hopeless but it's a Quest winter/audax bike with full 105 compact double set up on it. Normally it wears mudguards during the winter but they were removed a couple of weeks back when the weather perked up.

Edit. Better add the pic!!! lol

Planet x was the first bike I have ever built so be gentle!!!
