Cheers G.
I might take you up on that, fancy a blast in the peak one Saturday? I was looking at the sirius r853 but the reviews are a bit sketchy. I have just come back from a transalp ride with the missus and a friend and after rattling around on my old orange gringo for a week I need a softer, more forgiving frame.
The soul still looks the best bet but im open to any more suggestions.
