He certainly appears to have hit the ground running.

You may have started something here, do you think this would be the ultimate commuter bike? Certainly would have been useful on the A10/M11 roundabout just south of Cambridge a few years ago. Would hazard a guess the idiots would not be so keen to close pass.

So two thirds of that unexpected bill was the VAT that she would have paid anyway, but of course it's a better story if you don't make that clear and put the detail several paragraphs below the initial claim. +1 I on occasions import optical equipment from the EU.

Normally when I take a cassette off (which is not very often these days) I tend to re-grease and service the hub at the same time.
