Just back from a lovely play on Salisbury Plain with Stu, (boyinabeerglass) on his new MT. Getting ludicrously close to mine being on the road and having ridden Stu's today I really can't wait!

Cheers mate. Not the prettiest up close and personal but all good where it matters and it rides great.

Re: MT and AT on SPTA
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, i was thinking of getting an AT, when a work colleague suggested an Armstrong MT 500. I said "what on earth are they?"

Re: MT and AT on SPTA
Turns out ATs have their dark side too.
This was the first full day of our Pyrenean trip and took four days to sort, although that was mainly because the rear wheel bearings chose Friday afternoon to collapse.

Re: MT and AT on SPTA
That's just bad luck, not much you can do about bearings collapsing.
No excuse with MT wheel bearings ruining a trip, they're packed with the things.
