It's here on the BBC News website.

Now, how long would you take to get that back in one piece?

    I wouldn't trust wheels that were built by me under any circumstances other than needing to use the bike to escape from a hungry bear who's keen sense of smell has spotted my failure to distinguish between chamois cream and chicken liver pate. Even then, the pragmatic solution would be to throw bibshorts and bike at bear, then run off into the woods, naked and screaming.

    It would take me a day or two until I get to the 3 saddles :shock: The head scratching might go on for months.

    That would be the saddle shell, padding and cover you are referring to perhaps?

    Putting the chain back together might take a while but I suppose it is one way to give it a really good clean.

    Going by just the brake levers and their extension I wouldn't bother, I'd just sweep the whole lot into the bin.
    To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.

    Always hated those things! Now I come to look closer, it is a pretty old-spec bike - cup-and-cone bottom bracket, quill stem, what look like down tube shifters and amberwall tyres. And he's included the spoke reflectors, plastic chainguard and spoke protector.
