Argh, nightmare! Is there a second bike shop you can grab anything from to do the last few miles? Maybe they'd hire you one?

You can borrow an 18" Scandal but given it's for a 5'9" monkey boy I doubt it's the tool for you.

Hope ya find one Ton.

I rather like Tony's not-too-fussed aporoach. There should be a special award or something.

Lol... good plan. I reckon you could win whatever they're giving away this year with a little write up. You never did say what that special bike is/was...
