Oh, I see. Gunner wrote: Have you not thought about a Specialized, SeanO. I test rode one before buying an Orange 5. It was the old style FSR, I prefer the new design, and felt ok but a bit too upright for what I was looking for. Had the Pitch been out at the time I probably would have got one of those. Like you say, being a massive company, Specialised bikes are very good value for money. _________________ Cheers, Sean 'my bravado tends to write cheques that my skills cannot cash!'
