"New Bike"

P1080527Having had my (handed down from Dad) nice red Raleigh mountain bike stolen at the end of last year, and not having a suitable replacement in our then extensive stock back home, I decided that now would be the perfect time to get a new bike.  I wanted something that would be great for the road riding that I do and also be entirely capable on the occasional extended long marathon globe-trotting off-road rides I’ll do as well.

P1080525I bought a Scott Aspect 40 from Quest in Worthing.  It’s a good bike, 24-speed gears, lockable front suspension and dual disc brakes.  The saddle isn’t so comfy, but the erognomic grips that provide a nice place to put one’s palms are very comfortable.

After getting the bike on Wednesday, I took it for a quick ride to Littlehampton and had an Ice-Cream on the seafront.  I also found this cool sculpture\statue\interactive communal product of imaginative and creative thinking which was just crying out to have an attractive quality bike posed inside its folds.  Shame the sun wasn’t getting a bit low in the sky…
