*Briing briiing* (that's a bikey noise)

I've always been a bike fan. Rode my road ride ragged for years. My current one of choice is a Specialized Sirrus Sport, an ultralight titanium road bike is seriously good (especially considering I found it by the side of the road in Farringdon back in 2008), and it serves all my needs except one.
Now that I live in Wales, I'm surrounded by big ass hills that scream for me to throw myself down them. If I tried it on my Specialized, I'd die. That's not hyperbole. I'd actually die, probably with forks through the neck or pedals up the bum. Neither really appeal, so it's time to upgrade. Well, side-grade at least.

So, the Specialized is up for sale (only after £100 if anyone fancies it) and I've just acquired the one in the piccie above - a Diamondback Friction 07 dirt jump bike. It's probably as far a sideways step that I could make, from roadbike to downhiller; but now, those hills should tremble in my path, as I'm coming, and boy is it going to be fun!!
