Location: Exeter
Job: Sales Executive
Bike: Specialized Camber Comp 2011

How Often do you ride?
I ride twice on the roads and probably once in the Woods per week.

What Bike are you currently riding and talk us through your set up??
Its just the standard bike as it comes out of the factory. The only thing I've done is put on the Shimano SLX SPD pedals and changed the disc brake rotors to some Shimano XT ones as the old ones tended to warp.

What types of riding do you normally do?
I do a bit of road riding and I ride a bit of cross country type trail centre stuff.

What was the last new bit of gear on your bike?
The last new bit was the pedals and I had some new lights for the winter but they aren't on here at the moment!

What are your local trails?
My local trails are here at Haldon. Out and a few bits and bobs out in the Teign Valley.

Whats Your favourite part on the bike?
I'd probably say the frame. I really like the shape of it and overall its a really nice looking bike. The colours have really grown on me. I wasn't too keen on it at first but I've learnt to love it.

Next upgrade planned for the bike?
Eventually I wouldn't mind kitting it out with some RaceFace stuff and upgrade the whole drivetrain to Shimano XT and putting the new Shimano XT Brakes on here.

What other bikes do you own?
This is my only bike!
