I could have actually taken it home today, but I want it to have mudguards and a nice Tubus rack. A particular kind of rack with double rails, which they didn't have in stock. So I've left it with them so they can order in the rack and fit everything, and just dropped in my Brooks-alike Selle Anatomica saddle from the Eclipse and spare SPD pedals so they can stick those on too while they're at it. I get free fettling labour for a year from them now. I cannot tell you how pleased this makes me, because my fettling tends to make things worse, not better....
They reckon it should be ready by Friday/next weekend, as we are just waiting for the rack really
This makes me even more annoyed that not one but two events are stopping me from taking the bike's WARTY virginity this month. I shall have to seek out a ride of some sort.
