That's pretty impressive eddie!
Well I've managed to do it again...
I came to pick my bike up (back in Leicester, at the folks) to chuck it in the car and head for the train station when I realised I had *yet another *flat. This was a pretty good thing actually cause otherwise I may not have noticed this lovely sight!
That's right, I've fucked another frame! It's nicely snapped right through the chainstay (where it has been rewelded once already. I'm sure somebody told me welds are meant to be stronger than the metal itself?!) So that's another frame down the drain and I have no idea how long I've been riding it like that for!!
The fact that I still had to get myself back to London and then back to my flat meant that something had to be done about this 'slight issue'. I popped a new tube in, just to keep things simple (!), and then proceeded to think of ways to keep my bike running. BING A geneous idea hit my smack in the face! So I did this...
I put a massive bike style plaster on it. Gaffa solves everything! So I'm home and I didn't die, but I think that's the end of another bike.
Anyone with any offers would be welcomed with oped arms and a fist full of tools.
