Anybody want a carbon fibre bike if the insurers don't want it.

One careful owner. Only one big crash and it will go in a sort-of-straight line if you steer well to the left. The dog that dived in front of it has learnt a lesson and so will his owner when he sees the letter and claim from my solicitors. While I am recovering from the double fracture I thought I would get involved with this e-commerce lark. So any takers?

Would make an ideal present to an unloved and well-insured spouse. I would suggest testing the structural integrity of the forks by descending Mont Ventoux to terminal velocity and then pulling hard on the brakes.

ps The bike is called Osama cos it's had one hell of a shock.

    Someone will be along in a minute to tell you that what you've written is all a pack of lies, and you're really torturing your frame in the back shed with a soldering iron.

    Why is there no film of the crash? It's because the bike was executed, that's why.

    What type of bike was it? Because, if it was Trek some people will start having street parties chanting "BMC! BMC! BMC!"

    And did you keep this bike in a lean to shed alongside MI6 headquarters for the past 5 years and have MI6 denied any knowledge of its existence?
