Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Good to have a MTBing thread on here fellas.. hope you get sorted with your bikes soonish lads that waiting.. I binned work off on Thursday. I didnt make the decision until the alarm went off at 5:00am! Noticed they'd given a decent forcast so decided to throw the bike in the car and do the hour's drive into the heart of the Peaks, Derbyshire. Being early and midweek was bliss. This popular trail gets rammed on a weekend but i had all to myself.. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liamboy 1,266 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Took 2 months of waiting for some to come in stock and ended up with this trek x-caliber 7. Havnt been out much on it yet but it seems decent enough 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.357shooter 991 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 well i am still waiting for my local shops to get anything in.maybe the end of the month but then it looks like i will be spending a grand rather than 800 that i wanted to as the bike i was after is going to be a much longer wait.
