    New Daily Driver!!

    Here's my new daily driver (well when the weather gets a bit better). It's a lot cheaper than running a 2nd car as well as an attempt to keep the beer belly away.

    Has anyone else gone this route? Any exciting bikes to show off?

    Very nice! How are you finding it?
    I'm contemplating a Langster or Paddy Wagon for commuting myself too. Driving to work has become a right ball ache lately, unless it's raining!

          The Giant Terrago, the daily. oh yeah.
          pic of a new and clean one. Not my pic and not my bike as mine's been modded for bad weather and heavy abuse. They are pretty good as they come though the front forks were crapy.

            Really good so far but this is the first racer i have ever owned/ridden. I did 12 miles on saturday as a test and it seemed really good, the ratio is just right for a single speed, the saddle is a bit brutal though.

            Just got an orange crush too for dirty weekends . Getting my old bike pinched was awesome (It was a dmr trailstar built for downhill style stuff) it was a few years old and needed bits replaced my insurance company gave me the full value so now i have two shiny toys to play with!

            The downside is the same scumbags who pinched my big also broke into the S2 so i need a new lock grrrr. Needless to say i am moving out of this flat when the lease is up.

              What is this bike designed for? the frame almost looks like a jump or even trials but the gears etc don't really match up with either of those.

                    Yep its a bit of an 'alrounder' (makes it good for a daily) but yeah its a trails. The frame is beautifully balanced though can stay on the back wheel for ages no problem. linky for more info on the Terrago

                          Here it is. Not my daily driver though, in fact I really ought to pull my finger out and actually ride it.

                            Very Nice!!! If you know of any good trails around feel free to post them my Orange XC bike is crying out for its first real run.

                            I like the comments about the carbon seat post my langster has a carbon covered seat post (pretty pointless if you ask me but i guess the want the bling factor of a more expensive bike). The forks are actually carbon and look pretty tidy.
