Rode the beast home; my god why do mountain bikes exist? So pleasurable to ride. I was suprised how easy the gear was up hill. It won't be long before I up the ratio, I think.
One important tip, though, the sizing on Pearsons website is totally wrong. At 5'10" I was supposed to have the 56cm but it was massive! After trying on a couple 52 was clearly most appropriate so went for that. Guy was very friendly and helpful. They're a lovely little shop; its a shame so many of these local bike places have since closed down across much of the country.
Mark, will get onto BCD shortly.
