I don't race but regularly visit the usual midlands haunts. Cannock is becoming a pain as it is becoming more popular, also I wonder about how the popularity after the games will impact the runs there. |

Has to be the steel stanton all day long.
More compliant and forgiving, especially on long full day rides.
Steel is real! |

I didn't know you were a fellow biker, Cherry 
Totally agree. My race bike was alu and it kicked my arse - only good for racing. I love my steel frame for joyful riding.

I used to mtb too! Was more of a cross-country rider as the hills used to kill me.. Mainly on the road now - i have a penchant for cycling next to water

She wasn't before we got together but loving it now.
I had a zaskar back in the late 90's and that was brutal.
Steel all the way now for a hardtail. |

Road bikes just don't appeal to me sadly. Especially around Northampton, there's way to many idiots driving, and the adrenaline rush I used to get from downhill was amazing, can't wait to get back into it |

I've got a hardtail but found the ride was horrible so went for a full suspension for this one. Maybe I just had a cheap crap ride? I was a voodoo though and was highly recommended by some friends, |

Not ridden since the first lockdown when I came off at Leeds bike park. Straight over the bars coming off a jump, face planted the hard packed gravel and smashed half my face in, wrecked the helmet I was wearing.
Big eye opener (well actually one eye closed completely for a couple of days due to swelling!)
Anyone want to buy a bike? |

Good news is you are ok fella, get a new lid (I use a Met Parachute with removable chin bar), get back on and maybe get a lesson if you think it will help or give you some confidence again. |
