Brought my bike on the plane in a hard case, it arrived two days after me in a damaged hard case (Monarch airline - terrible experience...).
After waiting for a couple of days for my bike to arrive, with it damaged beyond my abilities as a mechanic thought that the holiday was a write off...
I took it to the local bike rental shop who I hoped would be able to point me in the direction of a bike repair workshop, little was I to know that they had a secret weapon in the form of Markus; in 30 mins he had straightened the components and fettled it to not just a ridable form, but in all probability better than when I set off.
He has recommended replacing some parts when I get home but he got me on the road and out in the sunshine, top man!
