Im afraid i am a bit of a polisher, tub of zymol in the shed etc!!!

Living in Scotland its difficult to whip up enthusiasum to get out on the bike. Dark at 4.00pm road covered in grit/dirt. Ice paches, not condusive to enjoying a bike ride.

Not really got the time right now anyway 15 week old baby at home kind of take up a few hours!!!

Roll on the summer.

No question its the best colour. Yellow would be nice to own for a day, but not all the time.

Red just looks fab.

I never really noticed before but the Firestorm looks fantastic from the front on the road, very slim looking, certainly compared to twin light bikes!!!

It really i such a great bike, fast but not compramised by being a race rep. Makes it one of the best road bikes out there, IMO.

Hope the weekend is dry i might venture out for a very wee run!!

Congratulations -- it looks great and with quite a few extras in place!

And congratulations for the new baby as well -- I am sure both of them will be a source of joy for you.

BTW, I also bought my Storm around the time my daughter was born... and pretty soon I had to buy a car as well

My only comfort is that the Storm still has a few HP more than the car, if not more cubes.

Thanks, yes i was very lucky with the purchase, the guy who nhad it before me spent some money on it. All the bits i would have put on it myself (if i had the money!!)

The Ohlins on the rear is very nice.
