Trip report
Description by Mark 'Tarquin' Wilton-Jones
No pictures. Not really a writeup. Just a chance to test out the new Silverfox SFX01. Apparently it feels a little heavy (what else would you expect for such a low price), but is very comfortable - especially with the cushy saddle that was originally bought for the Apollo Heat. Personally, I found the handlebars a little too narrow, but then, I am used to the wide handlebars of my GT LTS 2000 (TWJ). It is also a little too eager to pull to one side or the other. But for the price, it is a very good bike, with full suspension, and a nice set of gears with quick-shift.
Oh yeah, the bike ride. Same as the last one.
