My baby is back, but I am now counting the cost. After a week in a box, following our tour of the Low Countries, I have re-assembled my humble but cherished Tourismo24 bike.
Now for the butcher's bill. A spoke is gone in the rear wheel - maybe it happened in transit, but I did wonder at various points whether I could feel a little wobble. The left-hand rubber grip on the handle-bar is ripped - I had to cut it so as to pack the bike, in a bit of a hurry, at Schipol airport. Brakes need tightening, and the gear indexing is all over the place.
So, as soon as I can, it is back to the shop in Prestwich. Get my pride and joy mended and start cycling again.
