I just stuck with new springs - didn't do the taper mod

10 posts of complete rubbish coming up then!

I haven't been down to Poole Quay yet - but I haven't had a bike for the last 3 years due to work/life commitments etc. I'd PM you too, but I don't know how many posts I have to make before I'm a...
