Thanks Hugo.
I now have a little bit of cash freed up from selling the retro DA stuff, which means that the hunt is now officially ON to find some replacement kit, because in the meantime, I'll be doing my distance rides on the commuter: a Galaxy that's slightly too small for me.... Which isn't so great for just getting on with it, but there you go. Maybe the extra weight will do my legs good!
(All this is actually part of a much larger project, namely to sort out once and for all my perfect stable: a fast road bike for fitness: a dedicated tourer for holidays doubled as a paired-down fixed commuter: and the snazzy Roberts for occasional Herne Hill in the summer and staring at during the winter).
Thanks Hugo.
