Got my new bike delivered yesterday from Orbit (big thanks to the guys there as it was supposed to come Thrusday). Because it arrived earlier than expected I havd no Allen keys to adjust saddle, bars etc. Couldn't find any in the office, so as no LBS in Uxbridge that I know of, went to Halfords to buy yet another set. Looked in the car tool section, found a set of 10 for 3.95, thought I'd check the cycling section in case they just had a 4,5 and 6mm set, they did have a set, of 6 for 4.95! When I asked why they were charging 1pound more for fewer Allen keys I was told 'I supose it's just one of those things'.
Anyway new bike is great and will start the mamoth commute to work on it next week (when my tube pass runs out!)
