Advantages: Lightweight, superb frame, superb wheels Disadvantages: Wheelset spares less commonly available
I have been a mountain bike enthusiast and have raced at National level for a number of years and this is by far the best bike that I have ridden, and the only one that I have been so happy with that I have 'refurbished' it rather than replaced the entire machine after a couple of years. The frame is about as light as they get, and gives a responsive but not punishing ride. The bike excels up and downhill, and is fun and flicky in the singletrack. ... ...flawless, and the supporting inhouse branded Icon chainset, seatpost, stem and handlebars are top notch.

The bike comes in 3 different sizes and the only colour I have seen it in is silver with 'Hardrock' written in a bright pink colour. The bike is quite feminine colour-wise but really is quite agressive once you get to know the bike and poush through your own fear barrier on it.
At £300 the bike gives excellent value for money ...

The so called industry standard seems to be the SHURE SM58 and as I use both types, I’ll more
When I first saw this watch, being gadget man I thought ..... wow I have to have this little feller !!, as an aviation enthusiast and a frequent flyer, the built in digital altimeter was a must, coupled to the barometer and temp gauge ( all digital). it... more
