bit late on this and not sure if people are still alerted to new posts on old threads, but i was the chap struggling along with the MTB on the southend ride like a true novice. apologies for holding anyone up - i nearly died several times that day but had lots of fun anyway. anyway, i've now seen the light and sold the MTB in favour of my very first fixie.
oh and cheers to ed for lending me his steed after about 15 miles. otherwise i'd have defo have sacked it off after about 15 miles.
