Hi all,

Thought I'd swing by and say hello as I recently picked up my first "big" bike and also found these forums Smile

I'm 29 and live in Shropshire, England. Recently bought myself a 2002 Thundercat and couldn't think of a better bike to introduce me to the world of riding.

Here she is in all her glory - I look forward to frequenting these forums and seeking your advice (as I'm quite the novice when it comes to mechanics) Smile

Nice clean bike you have there.

Hello & Welcome to the forum Randomeclipse,

Lovely looking Cat you got there, and for a steal of a price, from your other thread.

We were all novices once, not a one of us were born experienced riders wink thumb up

As for not being good with a set of spanners, well, at least you're rolling your sleeves up and giving it a go, good on yer left thumb up

If you get stuck - as you've noticed on your other thread - there's plenty of experienced spanner wielders to offer hints n tips.

Cheers
Tel

Welcome. Shropshire's a good place to play - I know the Stone area a little and, does my childhood memory serve, is Trentham Gardens in your locale?
