Isnt it always the way though, you ride both size of bike and the smaller one feels spot on. Then you hand over the cash and the more miles you do on it the more you wish you had bought the next size up

If you had bought the next size up from the off you would wish you had bought the medium

Did have a trials bike that i built up, snapped that in half, replaced the frame with a 26" reefer one, the whole thing got nicked, bought a bmx, got bored so bought this



Had it a few years now and love it, would never own a full sus bike as you cant feel the road or bust out some trials on the way to work

2007 French Specialized Demo 7 - was quite possibly the first Demo 7 on UK shores.




Cove Hustler - different now with Rock Shox Totem forks, Azonic Double Wall bars and a Gravity Dropper seat post. No recent picture on this machine.




I also have a Specialized P2.

Im not too bothered as I got it for a steal on ebay so should be able to sell on again for the same price or if I can find the frame in a large just swap the frame and sell that on

Drives supercharged Tec with torque
