Oh Ratfink, doesn't sound too good! Glad you got away relatively unscathed...

Maybe I should wear a helmet more often.... makes me think this...

Daz, love that picture of the orange bike

No idea about the Bianchi book, I want it too now... will let you know if I find out more! Oh and my pedals are greased when put on and they do get removed with a certain regularity when the bike goes in a bikebox, so none of them are seized... well, haven't checked the crosser...
