Probably similar to others on here I have a cheap knockabout bike for use in inclement conditions

I've tried that, and knockabout bikes are just horrible to ride, so all mine are quite nice which makes using them in and out of town tricky, luckily we have a secure indoor cycle hub in the city, so it is possible to take a decent bike into town.

Hmmm, good point, perhaps I should say mine was a cheap knockabout bike. At this point, ten years on, the only original parts are the frame, fork and headset.:laugh: Some bits like the drivetrain and wheels have been replaced multiple times.
