Do I need to get the spray plaster out?
You had me at beef, beans, n' chips, but a tin of fruit salad too! I'll be round in a jiffy.

Grumblin at Garmin on the Granny Gear
A good mate of mine asked via Facebook if anyone could fix bikes, or knew anyone. I offered and he finally dropped it off today. It was his youngster's bike.

It was in a right state, having been left outside. It had hardly been ridden, but the chain was solid orange rust, the mechs had completely seized and the gears had no chance of moving.

I said I'd do it for parts and managed to get a freewheel, chain, tubes, gear inners and outers for £30.

Think I've done OK polishing a turd. There is a classic error !

Kept me going for at least a year, over 450 miles. Might even use it again when the canal towpath gets really muddy. I did fit it with decent gear & brake levers and a saddle I could sit on, and my son didn't get it quite so rusty.
