He did leave the carbon road bike at the station once - locked through the front wheel...... So actually this is THIRD time he's pulled a stunt like this. Luckily I noticed the road bike's absence before it was too late and I grabbed it from the station.
Yeah, I built a slumming it bike out of leftover bits, my 'turd', hope + ceramic + folding wheels, ti skewers, XTR cranks, XT rear mech & shifters. It's my turd but in reality it's an amazing bike to 98%, it's all about perception and it's very difficult and probably not something he'll understand until he's much older.
