i am looking into getting a new bike, especially now im in auz, cycling here rules, you can ride on the motorways, get some crazeeee speed going i broke my Giant when i managed 43mph and the bearings shot in the rear wheel and spat all over the road, needless to say it ground to a halt rather quickly and shaved a gorge out of the frame when the axle broke through

Ive had 41.something out of mine a few years ago going down hill into a village. it was a bit twist and you had to watch far a head so you could stright line the corners.
