Pretty terrible to be honest. Odd size, too heavy, geometry a bit out of date. I rode it 2 or 3 times then sold it.

Blaenau-Ffestiniog DH Centre - coming this summer!

Interesting fact about Blaenau: It's believed that the sun has NEVER actually shone. The air itself is a bleak grey colour, making everything look like a black and white photograph. Brilliant though, can't wait to ride there.

I'll be in the shop on saturday, you can come get them then if you like.

I've only got the more worn of the High Rollers left. That's the dirty ones in the picture. I'll hold on to them til the weekend if you're coming down. Postage is only £7 though, which would probably be less than your petrol costs. Your call.

Felt Virtue Sport - Tested

Erm... wouldn't it have made sense to test the 2012 version of the bike? Seen as how this isn't actually a current model? What's up next, the GT Lobo?

£25.

Pinkbike Product Picks

AFAIK, Husky might a potential mistake. Once they're running off the leash, they are incredibly difficult to stop. Say a deer, squirrel, fox or whatever crossed your path whilst riding, your husky will bolt and run FOREVER, far faster than you could hope to catch it. Surely a boarder collie is the obvious choice?

Which pair do you mean? The wheels are sold. £25 for the tyres.

Urge Real Jet

Just blagged mine now! Not arriving til May though. I love the way it totally divides opinion. I'm going to run it for the Gravity Enduro series. Just need some mega-loud goggles to clash nicely!
