Worst thing with new toys is the parcle tracker, but somewhat cool too. My bike was last seen in Nuernberg at 09:11:45, it's been over 12 hours and nothing - my nerves and nails!

Strait to the shite courier thread, Peli heard nothing other than when junk mail got put through. Went to check if it was mail, found a Sorry we tried ... They left a parcel at our next door neighbour who is about 90 and bent over.

Swoons, it is here!!!!

Pictures will be up after I have picked myself up form the floor.

If you owned a Tilley hat you will understand

Just did five miles on the turbo at about 13mph, nothing broke or fell off me or the bike. Will do that for a few more days before heading out into the local supermarket parking lot late at night.

Seat is very upright atm, it felt good like that. I truly like the look and feel of it, they have surly spend time to get all these small bits right. One of the best packing I have seen of a bike, nothing would rub or bump against anything if the box should get a wee kick.

Now time to fit all the bits and bobs on it and find a name for it

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #44 on:** 21 March, 2016, 04:03:01 pm »

Look at all that bubble wrap! And there's a bike you can play with when it's all popped!

ElyDave · « **Reply #45 on:** 21 March, 2016, 04:27:29 pm »

Very orange

And surely the hat is in case the sky falls in?

Looks nice. Got any built pics?

Great to see this, Woolly!

Look ma, no pain! First ride outside on my new bike. No pain what so ever in my arms and hands, which makes this the first ride on a bike in over three years that didn't hurt - as in utterly painful/agony/aw! I took Tigger, as he is named, down to the flat bit at the bottom of the hill. After two wobbling starts, no drops. I went feck it and went down on the canal, as in cycled down to the canal!!! And did a little over five and a half miles. Only pain to report is a wee bit of a pain in the right knee, because I have forgotten that it is a good idea to gear down when one stops. I wobbled like no tomorrow and need to learn that you don't lean into the handle bars. Also turning is a bit fun as you can't see where you front wheel is pointing. I was happy that there wasn't much traffic on the canal, because I was grinning/laughing like a loon. Boy, It feels good to be riding again.
