Don't bin your wheels: make them a specialbike
DJ Norman Cook thought his fave wheels were fit for nothing better than the bin - but his wife took them over to specialbike. Specialbike stripped it to the frame, replaced all the components, repainted, and returned something better than brand-new. If you've got an expensive high-quality frame, it's worth replacing the brakes, seat, handles, etc, and making it into something you'll use all the more because it fits your needs exactly. Drop by specialbike.co.uk to inquire what they can do for you, or go over to 41 Brunswick St, Hove to get all the details. [GT]
