coffee squad are not welcome, unless they also cycle - in which case, assemble!!

I've broken a spoke. The Bike Doctor says it's a big deal. I don't think it's a big deal? But what I'm really interested in is what you think about it?

I also need a new chain and a new cable. He quoted me about £60 for it all, including labour. Is that a bit much. I could probably do it all myself couldn't I? Could I?
