Paul Wells has been using his Fairthorpe over the winter months and sent me some dramatic pictures taken by the road side in a country lane, i will let Paul tell the story:-
`Bit of a mishap today. - front wheel overtook me and disappeared through a lady's hedge ! Luckily it stayed in a straight line and the speed was slow ... Turns out there are two completely sheared wheel studs and two with the thread ripped off ! I can only assume the studs broke first and the rest follows ! Only real damage is a very flat sided brake disc ! The wheel disappeared through the hedge on the right of the picture - I had to knock on the door and ask for it back as it reached the middle of the lady's lawn ! She even gave me a cup of tea !` Life is never dull with a Fairthorpe..............
