Yeah, thats the bit I'm dreading...will probably be pretty sizeable. But I have an unofficial budget of £2k, as thats the kind of money I'd be looking at to replace him! Didn't realise he was worth that much...
Ooo, a seafront walk - havn't been to the sea for aaaages, love walking along a nice open beach, all salty and blowy and fresh
Shocks and springs are a good choice. Coilies can be a little tough on the bum at times

But my offer of a test ride in my Arosa still stands (once he's fixed that is)
