Mongoose Randonneur owners - how's the ride?
Thanks Adam, that's wonderfully detailed info. I thought the seat looke & felt like crap (I've only ridden one round the carpet in a shop t date) & I'm also intending to upgrade the cranks (are yours, by th way, the standard 30/42/52 Ultegra rings?). I'm also interested i whether you did any riding on it with the stock 35-37mm tyres, and i so, how it felt - 28mm seems a little on the thin side for catapultin down corrugated dirt! I'm also a bit mystified by the posts you an Andrew are suggesting will be revealed by searches - a normal Googl search gives me only the reviews mentioned above and sales links, and can find the bike mentioned in a couple of posts in a site search here but not in the sort of detail you and Andrew are so kindly providing Overall, I'm feeling reassured that the bike's worth buying. : -- bubelrocks |

Did you try clicking on "groups" at the top of the Google page, then searching? That should do it. And you can restrict the search just to aus.bicycle if you want. |

I didn't change the chainrings, they are the the standard Cyclone (or Zyclone can't remember). I think the EX has a Tiagra triple though. I'm also interested in whether you did any riding on it with the stock 35-37mm tyres, and if so, how it felt - 28mm seems a little on the thin side for catapulting down corrugated dirt! Sorry yeah the dirt was on the 37mm stock tyres. They are ok, but for road riding and the occasional smooth dirt road I find the 28mm better.

Michael Buble doesn't rock at all, the best he can muster is a sort of swing Adam |
