Yeah I know, I have a mate with a beige one and it looks like baby poo. Your copper equilibrium is rather lush....

It is indeed...just for you again

And the OP to show that handsome roadbikes don't have to be made from plastic aka carbon fibre

Oh yes . I'd share a pic of my Fratello but I don't have one to hand...

It'll be nice when I'm actually allowed to ride it again

Sooner rather than later I hope. I do sympathise, I broke my collarbone on Sunday so I'm out of action for a few weeks myself.

I'm two weeks into 12 weeks of rehab, so I don't know when. Heal well yourself. What happened?

Thanks . Out riding down a bridleway and I think a tree must have fallen over winter across the path (it gets quite boggy during the colder months so I give it a miss) and grass has/had grown over the trunk. I didn't see it and went straight over the bars onto my right shoulder. I heard it crack as I landed . Luckily it's a clean break and no displacement so 4-6 weeks with any luck.
Fingers crossed for you though, with luck you'll catch some of the summer .
