    Mmm, ok... Well, I don't know yet whether the entire gearbox is fucked or
    if it's, as explained to me be the dealership's service manager over the
    'phone, just the bushings on the selector. Either way, under the Sale of
    Goods act, 1979 (as amended), I will pursue this, concentrating on the
    "Satisfactory Quality" and "Fit for Purpose" criteria and stating such to
    them and follow it up with a letter.
    [noted]

    Cheers, mate.

    Hmm - sounds rather familiar.
    It's the only bike where I have to consciously think about foot position
    to reduce the risk of painful toes.

  6. Yes sir does want some. Sir has tried to get some to fit to no avail.
    Sir needs to get his calf muscles back in some sort of trim shape.

    Blimey! I'll just call you "Chunky" from now on, eh?
    ;-)

    Seriously though, I /am/ surprised 'cause I ain't exactly got petite legs
    by any stretch of the imagination and I've never used anywhere near the
    full extent of adjustment on them.

    In fact, now that I am the proud owner of some lovely Hein Gericke Voyager
    Goretex trews [thanks Loz for the recommendation], I find that
    even on their /smallest/ adjustment setting they're, er, roomy.
