Gah sucks about that frame... reminds me of my Centurion (same kinda stress bumps from a full frontal), but I'm riding her until she breaks (brakes? l0lz) - it feels like such a shed compared to my IRO.
Zhivago's a cool dude, and he's not all so slow when he wants to be

(I raced alongside him in the final legs of Springtastic... but I'm slow, he finished a spot in front of me

)

Had to go up to Keele/Steeles again today, and a beautiful day for riding. I went to Whitby last time from there, today I just rode home - really enjoyable save for a few moments of "where's the pavement surface gone?". Glad to have seen a bit more sun on my pasty whites anyway.
PS, sorry and thanks to Urbane for the use of the floor space and pump yesterday... was a last minute flat change and flee as I was trying to make my train. That'll teach me to forget my pump. Poop.
