I really want a disco but there is no converting her. She likes her Hippo and thats the top and bottom of it.

Yeah thats the only prob with getting a slitty, parts are pricey and are hard as fook to get hold of.

Are you sure the frayed cable hasnt just caught or jammed the spindle? Take the regulator off and have a look. Go for the £3 bike brake cable fix if the regulator is still working. search for the brake cable method.
