M Steels was a proper snob when he was in Whitley Bay, so i wouldn't dream of going to the Gosforth branch now.

M Steel have always been great with me, not snobby at all.

You can also try Denton Cycles on Scotswood Road and The Bike Place just behind the Metro Centre.

Well i aint been to the one in Gosforth, but the one that used to be here wasn't all that.

What kind of range do they have, is it worth a look compared to the huge stock of Edinbrough?

Stump

Last year's model as we purchased it around that time, just as summer started. Never really got to ride it much, but this year however, is a completely different story

Well pointed out. My dad has the 99 year one. I think after that they started getting heavier. Can you life yours with two fingers and not know its there?

Two? Pah! I can lift mine with my small finger! It's fantastic, and it's very light.

Seriously the best bike I'v personally tried, and I'v tried a fair few bikes

Well you picked a good bike. And you no what I mean by light anyway!

They are expensive but you can see where the money goes.

Indeed, my college mates think I'm absolutely barmy! It's hard to explain, as they don't understand the concept.

So I just say "My Bike > Your Car"

Rednut05 · 27 Apr 2006 at 22:00

Well I have a car too

. My bike was posted earlier on. Its more a jump bike. My Dad has the Stuntjumper which is a quality XC bike and then we have a road bike but don't no much about it. Mum has the Hardrock, shame shame.

thinking of buying a trials bike for jumping about on things.
