Brings a new nuance to having you bike handed back to you unfixed with the comment "Sorry, I tried to fix it but its f****d"

Doesn't anybody think that the age of the bike concerned is relevant? My Holdsworth, whose frame has just bust, would definitely have been old enough to consent (actually the chap would probably have rejected it as a bit long in the tooth). A lot of these bikes of today, well, they just have no staying power ... all chubby brushed aluminium and no mudguards.

How often are you working on your bike, and you need another hand to hold something in place. Perhaps he was just improvising.

Is that what all those e-mails I keep getting are about - getting a bigger stronger third hand to help with bike servicing? ;-)
