Keep an eye out for it on Gumtree.

awh crap Sven. Will keep an eye out locally.

Trimix will testify that there's a good selection of borrowable bikes for tuesday night rides to keep you going until you can sort out a replacement.

Cheers, might just use this as an excuse to stay in for a bit!

Related - anyone used one of these GPS trackers? http://www.integratedtrackers.com/GPSTrack/

That looks interesting. However have you seen the size of the 'top cap' unit? You'd have to push the SFN so far down the steerer you'd not be able to use any conventional topcap without installing a new SFN.

Shame as I'd be interested in using that for 'town' duties then removing it (heavy battery, electrics probably not great when used in soaking conditions offroad) at other times.

It'd be interesting to try it out on a few sting operations using a bait bike though?

Ah yes, vigilan- I mean sting operation!

I see what you mean about the size though. They could use a better photographer too.

Yeah, I'm always suspicious of a product whose marketing shots are taken through a lens liberally coated in petroleum jelly! Was there a price mentioned?

We could substitute a night ride for an Oxford vigilante mission?

Probably better off buying a f-off big lock for that kind of money.

You mean for the 'sting' part of the operation?
