Re: 15th Jan, Surrey hills?
It may be the angle that particular picture was taken from but your upper body looks fairly upright and your upper arms look to be parallel to your upper body, to me that that makes the bike too short for you because you've got no room to manoeuvre on the bike.

We were going up a very steep little climb and the front gets a bit lifty. Other other pics show just as much.
I don't think it's too small in honesty. But I've never liked big bikes

And he said " nice kid, very cultured. Amazing to think his dad's a scouser"
BTW what happened to the YT demo bikes?

Very conscious that we didn’t get a chance to meet up at the weekend. The day ran away with us and we didn’t get back into Peaslake until near 3pm and I was running to get home.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 8:40 pmRighty ho. You could drop me a text at some point when about to head back to Peaslake, no worries if it's all a bit too uncertain though. If the weather's like today you should have a great day on the hill although there's a fog warning until 11am locally so it could be a bit murky in the dips early on.Beancounter wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 5:53 pmI would assume so, if not at the Hurtwood then definitely at Peaslake Village Stores given they sell cake.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 5:21 pm
Hi mon ami, will you be doing the post-ride coffee thing at The Hurtwood on Sat? If so, what sort of time?
Cheers.
Time wise is a bit difficult to say. Let me have a think and I'll drop you a message.

Re: 15th Jan, Surrey hills?
I decided they were pointless at the moment as I'm not changing either bike until at least the end of the year. So no point even trying them.Mr Moofo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 7:51 pmAnd he said " nice kid, very cultured. Amazing to think his dad's a scouser"

P.s. lol it baffles me at times too

No worries. I guessed that you'd probably finish late once your posse was beguiled by the wonders of the Surrey Hills.Beancounter wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 8:04 pmVery conscious that we didn’t get a chance to meet up at the weekend.
