Here Inverness,and finally a bike fully repaired!

I'd like to thanks firstable Jibi,(witch I hope to catch on the road to somewhere somedays again) to let me take care of Cat and Bob,witch are now fully fixed(Handlebar,brake set,brakes pads,cables,Rohloff cleaned and oil changed,new saddle,due to that,Cat changes her name for Aurora,in memories of the Northernlights so beautifull that they appear and deseapper in the silence just as they came,leaving a smile and interogations on most of the faces of the peoples looking at them..
From Now,riding around such a bike is pure plaisure in everyday,can go everywhere even the most trickyest places due to shape of Aurora and Bob..a strong girl and boy,that they have many kilometers to go around the world with me still!The noise she making when we are flying is just amazing the way the penetration in the air is made...let's say like a plane going mac 1 to my ears....hahahaha

I'd like to thanks also all these peoples that welcomed spontaneiously to their place while in England! featuring...
