  2. Absolutely disgraceful. I'm so sorry to hear about the theft. Remember though, you're a problem solver so if anyone can sort it it's you (and the spirit of Magnouloux). Try not to let it spoil your trip. Where there's a will... Rich

  7. James I can send my Swinnerton over to you, boxed up. Is that any good ? It's got a rear rack for panniers but I don't think you can fit front ones, although I've never tried it. Text us or phone and I can get things moving this end, send it next day international parcel. Did they get your luggage to ? Sorry to hear the news, anything we can do just ask.

  8. We suggest purchasing a unicycle, that way its only half the cost and you could earn a little money on the side as a juggler! No?
