Zig, I got a few nervous giggles from some girls, and some poor guy almost got taken out by a bus trying to get across the road to help me.


Now, the question is do I go OEM or Bling for replacements? Pazzo levers... mmmmmm!

Nothing quite like throwing your ego down the road on the High Street.

Have a couple of days riding the nice shiny new bike, then go out and have someone write off your new speed triple on day 3, it worked for me.

Peter - Pick it up, and off you go!

oh dear - glad nothing other than pride was badly dented.

On second thoughts, that's dreadful news! Maybe a ride to work with a paper bag over your lid might restore order.

seriously, glad you're ok.

Under no circumstances buy the 'bling' bits.

I will take the **** - you know that, don't you?
