Lucia, just pause your MP3 player/stereo love, Bowie isn't going anywhere. Oh dear ...    Those ruddy gremlins must have got it then I reckon. Fire away then peeps. What tools/spares/whatever frequent your magic box? Mine - waterproofs in a Corona drawstring bag, road legal number plate, wee tool roll (WD40 stick, maglite, screwdriver, wipes and some other things I can't remember), couple of bungees, big f*ck off chain and bumper lock, disc lock, A-Z of Manchester and the original manual. Blimey. I'm particularly interested in the tools, what's the essential kit? |

Seeing as I missed this one first time round...
- Waterproof leggings,
- A tool roll (Tetley Bitter) containing plug spanner, small adjustable spanner, various screwdrivers, tyre levers, pliers,
- A couple of cables and a small bag of barrel nipples,
- Shark repellant,
- A set of allen keys, although I'm not sure why,
- A spare spark plug,
- A rather nice period 'Michelin Vigil' tyre pressure guage in its own little case, given to me by my father-in-law who had a bike shop in the 60's. Made in Italy for added coolness,
- A pocket sized socket set,
- A block of wood to sit under the crank case to lift up the back end for tyre changing, and
- One of those neck warmer scarf type things.

Am bidding on something very similar on eBay. In fact I think it's exactly the same just rebranded.
