2 years in the garage...

[xiphias]

...and now I'm getting the bike out. Due to lack of storage at uni my bike hasn't really been touched for two years, but now I need to use it as daily transport. I have two options really, I can take it to a shop and get it serviced, or I can do it myself. How much is the former likely to be, and how much hassle is the last option? I was thinking along the lines of stripping the gearing (and perhaps the suspension?) but I've no idea whether I'm capable! Anybody have a list of what you do to a bike after hibernation? Apologies for the rambling post

No Excuse! At Uni I have 2 bikes with me at all times.

In halls it was hilarious, one slid under the bed and one was on the desk, behind the PC and telly.

If you're in Swindon at the moment, come down to see me and i'll service it for you.

Best of both worlds then, i only charge a pint.
