New cycle - same mission

Got a new bike - hooray!  Saved up all my birthday money, Christmas money, ill gotten (Ebay) gains and got a new bike.  First time I've ever had a new one.  

I've noticed a worrying tendency to want to wash the mud off, and to lock it up V carefully...

Thanks for the photo Chris - makes me realise that all that money (200 squids) was wasted on a lighter frame - because my own frame appears to be heavier.
