I've got a new waterbottle! It cost me almost three hundred quid, but they threw in a free ( bike )

along with it. :o)

Whilst I was unpacking and assembling it, somebody wandered up and said they were about to get a bike of almost the same model, then somebody else wandered up and said they'd just bought one of these and was waiting for it to be delivered.

It also came with a bag with the fetching slogan THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE MOTORISED"—I like!

Anybody want a bike?

So, now I have a new bike, my old one's going if anyone wants. It's a men's Peugeot racer, probably 22" frame, ten gears (2×5). As regular readers will have picked up, it's currently in need of repair—the screw thread on the lug the derailleur attaches onto has completely gone^*—so I'm only asking £25 for it. It's probably going to turf up another problem before too long if used for regular commuting, but used for occasional bike rides it's probably got a bit of life left in it. Or alternatively you can use it as a source of spares for another bike. :o)

Any takers (or anyone know anyone in who might like it)?

* I'm going to see on Sunday if I can find a nut the right size to fit onto the derailleur mounting bolt.
