Cheers for that topgun06! It's better than anything I could 'shop.
I have to say I'm still undecided, I quite like how the rear looks in that pic too. I should probably focus on more important things though like getting fitter and more powerful!
Pff.. Style > fitness .. nobody can see how cool your bike looks if you go too fast
Your saddle should be setup depending on your knee position in relation to your pedal spindle.....dont just wang it fully forward/back or any which way.
Hmm runs just up the road from me at Hoghton.

Picked up what I believe is a bit of a bargain today. Guesses for the amount paid for this lot? (please excuse the horrendously messy room)
08 Felt B2, with Vision bars, and Dura-ace deralliuers.
SRM Power meter K-Light FSA Carbon Crankset with PCM 6
Set of HED 60mm carbon clinchers
Huge hard flight case
and a bunch of spare tubes and bits and bobs

yup, paid £1370 
hoping to just sell off the crankset which should hopefully pay for most of it.

The insurance I use for my bike is coming to an end and since you can get insurance through being a member, I thought it made sense.
Trouble is, I'm not sure which option to go for, there is the Ride, Bronze, Silver and Gold options. I don't think I'm planning on doing anything currently that is marked as 'competitive', so presumably a provisional racing licence is pointless?

This. Sell something else instead. As soon as you start using a power meter you'll realise how limited the rest of your training was.
I am and have the 'ride' membership as I wasn't planning on racing.
