A Revelation from Ed, of course you now have to drop the "sell out" lecture we've all had

As you know Ed i'm a Sport lover my self , but it just doesn't ride how i remembered it , i'm older, fatter (you more so

) and i don't ride anything like i used to,sad to say the Sport just didn't feel right,

it has taken me ages to get used to the NS as you know i have to work real hard on even the simple tricks so throw a bike that rides differently and you can see why i've struggled with it , but its been worth it. The Sport will have on outing or two unless like you suggest Ed it goes to get some better wheels

,

like everything else things change for a reason and the recent changes in bikes has been a revelation to our chosen pass time

I'm getting myself ready for my new school ride. Hopefully it will be done by the end of the month. I'm picking up my hubs today.

I'm hoping the geometry isn't to much of an issue. I must admit I did get used to my mirra pro series and it rode great. Although it was bloody heavy. When I went back to the 80's rides they felt a bit weird. I thought it would be like putting on an old pair of slippers. But sadly it wasn't. I'm hoping the new school is more like riding the mirra pro. But a lot lighter. I will be having a long seat post. I can't stand a slammed seat. My biggest dilemma is the bars. As I have two sets and I love them both. I'm gonna have to try them both out and then decide! Or put it to a rad vote
