Boris is back in the house! And out of the box! And all put back together!! Hopefully this will make the "Free Boris" campaign members happy and allow them to move on with other, uh, productive activities...
It does appear that Boris did not fare so well being shipped back home from London last year. Apparently his mud guards were badly bent (and had to be re-shaped), his front big chain ring was badly damaged with 4 damaged and folded-over teeth (which had to be filed down so that the chain would run again), and he had lost all sorts of washers and bolts. Since any or all of this would have confused me utterly, I stand by my decision to take Boris back to the shop and have a professional reassemble him.
Boris is now battle-scarred and battle-hardened. He is new and improved, too: new orange reflectors (we sneer in the face of the old white ones); a new working bell, which I didn't even pay for!! He may look similar to the shiny new Boris who joined the household last year (original tyres re-fitted), but he's a whole new animal... In a way...
Any day now, he may even venture outside the house to try out all this restored functionality. Maybe. No promises.
The puny T-Rex arms are still complaining about Saturday's exercise-fest and so I'm applying much chocolate to assist in the healing process. This is unlikely to end well....

Absolutely nothing - arms not working is quite debilitating, it appears...
