  Easy to fix. Did you write that in an external editor? It happens sometimes. If you c&p it into a plain text editor before pasting it into a forum reply box, the formatting usually gets stripped out.

  I did indeed...clearly a nooob error! I'm taking another risk here in trying to 'quote' your reply in this post - hope it works...not too keen on looking a fool!

  ... and thanks for the fix Oliver!

  I have 3...

  2 x Globe Roll 2's ...and a tat Viking!

  I orig got a Globe...then decided to get a beater (the Viking) for the commute. Made it look alright (IMO) with leather saddle and leather wrapped bulhorns - I put a front rack on so it looked a bit like a butchers bike and it fit a bag on it alright too!
  But pretty much EVERY component failed on the Viking (as you would expect) but this at least gave me the opportunity to ‘fix my own bike up’ something I hadn’t done since I was in my teens! Ultimately I replaced everything down to the frame and wheels...and when a rim let go on my way to work last week I decided enough was enough and got another Globe 2 (mega discounted) as I knew I liked the bike already! This is now going to be my project and is currently at a metal finishers having the chipped/scratched frame sorted - this was the reason I got it cheap!

  Was that too boring? Sorry if so...
