    Yebbut, it'd be fine as long as it was well screwed together.

    How can you screw liquorice together properly?

    It'd be fine in a straight line, which is all a Z13 is good for
    anyway.

    "Screwed" is rather a relative term, in this case. One should use
    multiple turns of liquorice lace around critical frame joints,
    obviously - with the thick red 'Fireman's Hose' at critical points.

    Whilst still allowing the critical degree of necessary flex in the
    frame, this method will ensure that the assembly will not fly apart
    for at least three corners. Unscheduled visits to hedges and ditches
    are of course to be planned for in the itinerary of any trip
    undertaken, and ambulances should be pre-booked to avoid uncomfortable
    lengthy roadside waits.

    It goes without saying that this should be thoroughly sucked first, to
    get the required adhesive properties.
    A support team travelling behind to assist in returning the bike to the
    upright position is also advised.

    Only in the defined places - once spit-welded, a liquorice strand can
    be hard to separate. Certainly at the critical points though, with
    specially sucky bits at all frame interstices.
    In a Bassetts van, natch.

    Well the Z13 frame really sucks to start with.
    Au naturellement, with Bertie himself on the roof, lobbing giant
    allsorts into the potholes,
