Unlucky Nikos. Anything I can do give me a shout. I might have some plastex in the shed, enough to fix a small crack. As for other bits, there's bound to be something in a wreckers yard somewhere about. As for brake levers, fronts are cheap and avail anywhere in a variety of colours, rears are more expensive and may be a wreckers yard job.

Good luck with it all.

cheers for being such legends guys... I'm really pissed off, but taking it all with a smile. I could see the resale value dropping as i watched it slide away.

I'll have to have a good look at it tomorrow after work, had to quickly get it up and ride it home so i could get to work today and it was dark by the time i got home so i haven't had another look over it yet.

Won't really be in a hurry to fix the scratches cos i'm short of cash, but i'll get the cracks and brake fixed asap so i can ride it again.

Kind of makes me wish i still had insurance ... i did up until about feb of this year :evil:

That's the bugger isn't it. It's not till we don't have it, that we need it. :(

Insurance that is..
