My bike was stolen last weekend. Which sucks, but there's no point crying over spilt bike. At least it was cheap. And the point of this post is not to whinge, but to tell you that right now I am answering an ad in Daily Info for a "Small Female Mountain".

(What makes a mountain female? What gender is, say, Mount Fuji? Or the Matterhorn? Actually that one's easy. How small is small? The size of an Irish mountain? Is it a bonsai mountain? Otherwise, how the hell am I going to collect it?)

I've known people making (small) money out of buying up dead bikes and bringing them back to life. I guess if you get a rep for it then you pick them up from all sorts of places.

So, they might be on the level.

He came over a bit early in the end (I let Tommy know he didn't have to rush home!). Seemed nice enough, though I'm a poor judge of character. I asked him where he got the bikes and he said they came from house clearances and auctions. He services them and then sells them.

I went ahead and bought it. And I didn't see my own bike in the back of his car!
