    Also swapped the saddle. I really find the Turbo comfortable, and have had this one as a spare, sitting in the shed for ages. Was planning to save it for a nicer bike, but the leather on the old one had entirely worn through, so thought it was justified. I'm currently making a new front rack (feels strange to be riding without one!) for touring purposes.
