It does say 'at the junction'.... a bit more detail..... http://www.camdengazette.co.uk/content/camden/chronicle/news/story.aspx?brand=CAMCOnline&category=news&tBrand=northlondon24&tCategory=newscamc&itemid=WeED10%20Mar%202010%2013:10:35:103

@ DFP Eggs-actly my point.... the last thing I want is something that my neighbour could have...... if you're a subscriber to LFG&SS... I kinda reckon you are almost required to end up with something 'different/cool/unique/awesome' [delete as appropriate]... or at least something to which my Mum would say.... "...are you sure you're not a bit old for that..." ;-)

So here's the question... with say c.£400 squid burning a hole in my pocket for a ss to show off on around town... are you better buying a new'un.... or a built-by-an-addict used bike.... ceteris paribus.... (assuming too that I'm too impatient/needy to build my own)....
All observations much appreciated!

p.s. I know what I'd rather do.....

Isn't the lesson here really what's 'reasonable'...... it's not reasonable for a 19 year old to bomb-round a blind bend by Embankment Tube station at rush hour clipping ped's... but it is reasonable for a parent to cycle on the pavement with young kids down the side of the A30?
Deportation to Australia, or America, could also be on the list...or even the Lake District... for unreasonable behaviour...
But in a nutshell I agree with cliveo above!
A bit of a newbie here, but doesn't the spec. on the Willier Pista sill look a bit expensive this year at £900 quid?
Just trying to get some perspective from the 'experts' :-)
