Well, it's been delivered today. 190E 1.8 in Bornite.

And on that note, my dad and I are worried that he's fucked the rear suspension up somehow. Essentially the rear tyre is wearing REALLY unevenly.

It's down to the braid on the OUTSIDE, but the inside still has 3mm left on it. Is it likely he's whacked a kerb or something?

It doesn't look bad as far as I'm concerned, but my dad won't shutup about it.

Looks like I've got a lot of work cut out for me. Gonna go and take the rear wheel off now and see if anything is obviously bent.

Any help and advice would be appreciated. :)
