Arse, commiserations on the downtube (and I hope your arse isn't feeling those 200ks too much!). You're steel right, and could get it fixed? Is it worth doing?
I've only managed a couple of thousand miles according to the bike computer, but I didn't have it on the bike a lot of the same - and lately it's completely batshit and I only keep it on for amusement value: current max speed is over 200mph, and my journey to work was 0.39 miles one day and about 8.5 the next. I should remove it before it starts actually skewing the genuine miles though. I dunno if it's the battery or the wires or something else.
Well, I had it done in 2000 or so and again in 2005. No, that shouldn't happen. This time to Mercian not Bob Jackson, and have the head lug replaced; it's gone at the point of the lug each time.

Well done anyway :)

It's _kind_ of worth doing - it costs about L180.
