Just buy a cheap roadie and donate the old crate to an organisation that puts ppl on bikes for a good cause.
Yer probably right jock, but I've been down in the lab with it this evenin' and it might not be as bad as I first thought - got the derailleurs and calipers going again.
Needs BB bearings, front wheel bearings, a chain, a tyre and a couple of cables... not a great deal to do, and there's no way Mrs Odin's gonna let me buy another bike in the forseeable future.
Ricardo may yet live again!

Maybe once I've had it a while, but not just yet.
