General Comments

I have a banshee and found after having it for a few months it became a bit annoying to ride, didn't feel nice, However, in my world 500 quid is a lot of money so i took it to my local bike shop and had it serviced, what a difference! I'm not one to slag off anybodys ability on bikes but 17 year old saturday workers at halfords aren't the best at building and putting bikes together. I live on the edge of 64000 acres of salisbury plain and have covered most of it and have only changed the tyres and pads twice. I think a lot of people are into big labels rather than getting miles done and lets be honest why spend three grand on something that gets filthy, wet and lives in the shed.
Happy bike riding.
