Hi all,

Just bought one of those myself and will 'test' it out this week end
on top end of Bib track.

I went for the 3/4 length 38 mm thick version and keeping with the
nature theme it is an olive green.
I had the previous version, but this one looks much better in design.

Anyway this weekend will be the test


Steve
