Mountain bike
Saturday, 26 April 2008
Picked myself up a new 2007 Reign 0 mountain bike this week to get me back in the saddle and take the fitness to the next level. Really happy to be back on a bike again, especially one as trick as this.  Since I last rode a bike things have moved on somewhat. Suspension being the major difference. A smattering of carbon fibre and titanium along with a very light alloy frame.

One website has the follow in to say on it...  If I could just have one bike…. Climb with ease, descend with a grin!  reduced weight and increased pedalling efficiency via careful parts selection. Fox handles front and rear suspension duties with the new Fox 32 Float RLC front fork and RP23 rear shock ensuring tune-ability for any situation. Add SRAM X0/X9 shift components, new Mavic Crossmax SX wheelset and finishing kit from Raceface, SDG and Hutchinson.
