They must have been freelanders. No self respecting fender would have been shiny enough to reflect anything.

So, today's job is fixing up a push I was given (Sorry @kevstar but the donor lost your phone number). Not much up with it the but the pedals are shot an the crank bearing had lost all its balls.
I got what I could out of the bottom bracket an went to the not so local bike shop, cos they're small an could use the income (I thought). Asked if he could match it.
'Ain't got one of them mate, an to properly ID it I'll need both the shells too, an I prolly won't get it till the new year..' Was disappointed.
So I went to Halfrauds instead, is a Boardman bike so they might help..
Nipper in there was most helpful but couldn't find it on his pooter, said his techy would be able to help but was on his break. I nipped off to Aldi an when I returned they had not only identified the part, but they had it in stock, was only sixteen squids an would I like some grease to go wivvit sir?

So shoot me
Overcast but dry, best described as unexciting weather. I'll try to get more plant taming done today before they take over and I will stuck in for life. My garden 'benefits from the fertilizer used by the farmer on the field behind me - it washes down the slope and makes everything grow as if there is no tomorrow.
Have a great weekend folks and I hope you all get done whatever you want to do.
