Might floppy derailleur syndrome have anything to do with Once a hero's ' my time with five bridesmaids'.

Well apparently Mrs Wydbrook sorted mine for me, put them in the recycling whilst I was away. Impressive collection by the way.

Unfortunately I cannot assist, I would just them to wait.

Brings back good memories, passed mine on to my daughter whilst she was at university, unfortunately it became a stolen statistic along with an Alpinestars Cromega. .

Great area for riding if you have time. Cotswold scarp fun available at Cranham Woods, including Coopers Hill, location of the annual cheese rolling competion, is just up the road. Witcombe is at the bottom of Birdlip hill, featured in Simon Warren's 'Another 100 greatest climbs' book. Famously...
