Picked up my new bike today. Spec Hardrock Pro Disc 08




Already upgraded the stem and handle bars for a holzfeller stem and a Truative bar.

Plan on going for a 10 mile ride tonight with or without Superlite to get the cables bedded in

Was the local bike shop in town. They matched the price of £350 I had seen online and I get a years free servicing (up to 6 services) and did me a deal on a light set.

Top guys there!

Basically, yes. And because they have copyrighted the 'Banshee' name, the proper Canadian 'Banshee' brand that builds superb bikes, has to rename their bikes Mythic in this country.

And don't get Zocchi's, they are the shit imho. Rock Shox are much better these days.

Good buy imo mind you i sell them all day long lol they are good budget bikes though the vulcan's, go on to bike rader . com and they have given the carrera bikes 10/10 if you go before the 21st of his month you'll get a free £50 voucher to use on accs for it to the apollo range id probably avoid if you plan on using it alot.
