Last year I finally got the SV (Now stolen) fixed on the Thursday afternoon.
I used the work bike to ride to Bristol to get a set of calipers from
www.svspares.com, rode back to Crystal Palace, fixed them on, left the work bike at CP and rode the SV back home to Staines (About 8pm), packed a bag, slept and was at the Ace for 8am!!
The shakedown run was The Ace to the campsite!
