My testies agree. I was lucky it broke off less than 500 metres from the university, and last time less than 500 from my house, it made for a short walk. The workshop at the university had a bolt and nut in the right size Last time, I got those from a bike shop, that's the one that failed this morning.

I thought holland was full of those heavy steel framed thingys that everyone in amsterdam seems to own, they do have a certain cult status, a bit like trabants

Hahaha, we only have them for tourists so we know we're going to be run down.

But spares are easily "aquired"for them or so i believe, parts such as saddle clamp bolts for example.

Love me my 870. My dirty purty!

I wasn't me!

I just talked to a friend on his new cell phone. He is 70+ years old and it is his first! Glad he has a land line so I could call him there and explain things.

He is thinking about getting a laptop....
