Well i've finally got back on my bike :wub:, for the first time in 5 months. Went out for a quick ride this afternoon after washing and oiling both of them (and by quick i mean 1.55 miles according to my computer, ha).

I'm absolutely loving it at the moment though because this means i can get on my bike for the rest of the summer and start to get some fitness back :thumbsup:.

Might even be able to get my mate to actually ride his bike now instead of just looking at it in the garage, ha.

just needs a clean

took the Merida out a couple of times with just the 8 gears working , found it as easy or easier to
ride uo the hills than my hybrid....
I have now won a pair of s/hand levers on Ebay for £41, so all the gears are now working :P
I have also fitted some blue anodized skewers
