Yeah, don't take it back, it'll happen it's the nature of things like that, they need to be tight to be safe. I'd say 'wanker' or something similar after you left my shop if you took it back, honestly...

Hey Dammit, having seen your bike, its way sexy for a "failing" bike.

Apparently Sophia Loren's cheek bones are too prominent for her to be a classic beauty.

Beauty is...................

Just enjoy it. Some "flaws" just add character.

Well, having been told to HTFU by just about everyone with a bike in London (and some beyond) I shall so do.

The dropouts will be bare of paint pretty soon, as it is flaking off completely now.

As long as it only exposes the dropouts this will be fine, and possibly even an improvement.

I still have a slight concern that it will flake off the legs of the forks also, but time will tell.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
