Yeah your right, was designed by a well known Canadian mountain biker named Brian Bartlett but it allows me to peddle stood up and the shock on it is a Monroe too if I remember rightly :)

Looks well impressive, amazing design.

If you don't mind me asking how does it affect your balance on the bike, notice much difference?

None at all really, I use my everyday leg and on a test we did I put 45% through my prosthetic n 55% through my good leg. Well that was from when I were doing a Triathlon but not done anything extreme on it yet as I've not had time but if you google or YouTube Brian then you'll see what can be done with it after plenty of practise :)

I have already seen Brian ride, awe inspiring  :drool:. Kinda why I was asking.

If you come over to the Peak District anytime happy to take you out on some awesome trails (thats open to anyone really)

Ive got a new Cube Analog 2012 just arrived at Halfords on my 2012 C2W scheme. Went for a cheaper bike this year to save on the monthly fees. Looking forward to getting it. Its not quite as hardcore as my last Cube Ltd Team 2011. But got a great spec for my £600 ceiling on bike cost.



Just setup the wifes new Specialized Myka Sport Disc Int. Nice little bike. She also went for a cheaper bike this year. Hoping to get out on them soon.



Our companies pay for our C2W scheme for us basically, but we get the difference from selecting cheaper bikes and it allows us to put more in critical illness, pensions, dental care and other perks.

I love Cubes, see above. But that leg is totally hardcore. Fair play. Dont let anything keep you back. Looks like an amazing piece of engineering. You have my total respect!!  :happy2:
