After a recent visit to Gisburn Forest I decided it was time to say goodbye to my old faithful Specialized Rockhopper Pro Disc hardtail and start looking for a full susser.

After a lot of research reading the mountain bike magazines, internet forums, friends etc I decided to go for the 2011 Specilized Camber Expert. As it’s the 2011 model and the 2012’s are starting to make an appearance I got an absolute cracking deal over at Bike Scene in Guisbrough.

It rides like a dream! I’m very happy with my purchase and will be heading over to Dalby Forest back end of this month to put it through it’s paces there!
