Glad the arrived. The print file is available on request. 😁

A jolly nice Mercian. bit hard to get in a suitcase though.

Stop ******* about. Put the headset back and leave it alone. Ride the damn thing already. When your back you can measure the bearings and swap them out. And stop here on your way, we can go for a roll down the trans pennine on you folder and mine. 🤣
