Bike/walking not optional?

Nope, house to work is 15miles. No direct trains, they only run hourly and have to change twice.

Fifteen miles is a fairly easy cycle. :)

And to go by cycle would about double the journey distance, not being able to use the motoway.

Nah, its been sold to a mate. I'm running a Planet X Hammerhead now, a proper hardcore bike. ;)

I've changed the forks and the pedals since then, but its more or less the same bike. Being a hardtail, it cost a fair bit less than the Enduro did. :)

Sweet bike :)

Ive enjoyed my GT hardtail now for 2 years and thought 'what the heck' and got myself a nice full sus. Having to sell these tho : :( to make some money back or the GF will kill me. Still a bargain if you know anyone after some lush forks ;) .

That Enduro has increased my bottle size by 200%, just eats huge big bumps for breakfast as its quite a long frame and 2-3 foot drops (darent do much more YET) are beautifully quiet and soft to do.

I really dislike suspension on bikes, but that's just because I cycle on roads all the time and never actually do any fun mountain biking :)

Nice bikes!
