Be interested to know how that played out.
Taxi in to Irvine, lunch in the pub, that always helps!
Made a few calls
Calculated that abandoning would cost me about£150 in train fares, lost deposits etc
, so went into Irvine cycles and bought a Ridgeback Speed, then transferred bar bag, GPS etc.
Irvine Cycles then sent the Airnimal back to Avon Valley who replaced the frame, rebuilt and sent back to me
Funny thing was that the Ridgeback was a reasonable touring machine and still does occasional duty when I don't want to risk the more expensive bikes
