Just the fun of getting it delivered by courier to.</p> <p>As much as I slag off my bike (which I do actually love) a quick trip to ASDA showed me exactly what a BSO was. I was really horrified by the v-brakes in particular. They were tinfoil thin and had punch-outs (to use less metal I'm guessing). The shimano dérailleur at the back looks like it's made from plastic. </p> <p>I'm sure it is, but it just didn't seem safe, or at least that it would start to fail after not very many miles. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1138#post-10566 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:21:28 +0000 Stepdoh 10566@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hey, you've got my cycling style down pat :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1138#post-10564 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:09:11 +0000 spytfyre 10564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>you could shout about hills<br /> "Ah canna dae it cap'n ah <strong>dooon't huv the powerrr</strong> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1138#post-10563 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:04:55 +0000 Stepdoh 10563@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hoo, that's great.

Chap will take £35 for it. </p> <p>Going to cannibalise the B-BSO to create new C-BSO, although may treat m'self to a new bottom bracket as mine is gubbed.</p> <p>This is v. budget cycling as you may realise (the baby budget is bigger than the bikie budget :)) but hopefully it won't need to last too long, just looking for something solid to sit on. </p>
