Fun times Julien!😂

A bike with a wide handlebar steers like a truck (sorry, lorry, not as in Hugh Lorry) while a bike with a narrow handlebar steers like a sports car.

Shouldve gone with the Procaliber AL gramps, it has boost thru-axle on the rear 😁

Welcome back Julian.. Wonderful to see you looking like your old self. Congratulations on the mountain bike.. I would have thought you had already spent enough time in hospitals.

I have got the same bike in orange, I cut the bars down and use Shimano SPD's. Craking bike enjoy.

Welcome back! Nice bike! I used to ride one!

Now I never thought I'd see the day when -that old giffer Hutchings- the Honourable Gentleman got himself a mountain bike - Excellent news! You can't beat mooching around in the woods, along bridleways and byways, and getting into places those pesky cars will never go, and just generally having fun. Go and have a pootle along a bit of the South Downs Way while the weather is good - I've not done it (I'd love to though...) but I reckon you'd enjoy a section or two of that. Personally, I love wide as a bungalow handlebars - 800mm is my go to width, but yes, you do have to be mindful of narrow gaps and also snagging on brambles, small children's heads, and other stuff like that. Looking forward to seeing you getting out and about on it, and good to see you back again!

Good to see you again, Julian. I am really looking forward to seeing you shred or will it be shredded?😂
