![]() | Karakoram |
This was my second mountain bike purchased from Bike Tech in Cheltenham. Originally came kitted out with Shimano Deore LX and Deore DX. The bike gave me many years good service. By the time it made way for my Cannondale I'd pretty much replaced everything on it - it ended up with Deore XT and a flexstem. The bike rode well but was a little on the heavy side. Made way for the Cannondale after a couple of years. Languished in the garage for a while before being pressed back into service as a hack whilst at University. Eventually rebuilt as a town/work bike - as you see it now. Sometimes still gets a trip to the shop for pick'n'mix.
