Heh!

Come on now Army, what do you really think of them?
Oh wow - I can't type in what I really think about them - I think that would be an instant life time ban!


I'm sorry to admit that I've really struggled with this (bicycle) bakfiets - it has sucked away many many hours of my life because of the cheap components on it. It is one of those bits of machinery where even a 1/4" socket set is far too beefy and strong for it.


(And for those who don't know me, take a look through some of the threads I've started and see what I've been up to with my W123 - I'm not totally incapable!)
