Nice bike mate, where did she come from. I used to Live in High Green and work at HSBC in the city and also Tankersley (Telly Tubby land) some fair roads to play on but be warned you really need to have her setup otherwise it gets a tad lively. I have some great settings for a standard bike if you are about 13 stone ;)
