I've emailed Planet-X bikes and they're going to see what they can do. :)

Yorkshire Tea or Tetleys?? Digestives or Custard Creams?? Mug or china cup??

Cheers for the offers. I'll draw up the tender contract this weekend. :D Just a shame on-one couldn't be more flexible.

I'd decided on a ss inbred with rigid forks, but on-one can't offer it as a complete build. The cost of buying the standard bike and then to buy rigid forks and paying for the labour to swap them over will probably make it too expensive. :( Shame really.....

And I'm poor show with a spanner.

I could get an inbred for 800 quid (geared), but have seen complete swift builds for just over a grand.

Thinking of getting one of these in the near future. Two questions; how are they for bikepacking, and how do you fare generally bikepacking with a singlespeed in somewhere like mid-Wales?

Cheers

"Hi, I can't come in to work today, I'm feeling a bit under the weather today *cough*".....

Fire lit, toast in, coffee pot on, let's begin.

Must have been wet.....

I'm checking my emails every five minutes. It's like waiting for Xmas!!!

Spinning is winning. Spinning is winning. Over and over again.......

Done! :D

Thanks Sally, good to read your blog and get a feel for my first WRT this year.

Can I order a shirt with "For when you don't have to be back for tea"?

Anyone got one of these? Price seems quite good, but any experiences with this?

When I open it, it's a page of garbled text. It worked using bikehike.

I can't open the link, what do I need to open it?

Victims of their own success. Both Trail and Singletrack have given them good ratings recently.

Hoping to catch the train to Machynlleth on Easter Sunday and wind my way up to Coed y Brenin for coffee and birthday cake the next day :D :D

As Alpkit are out of XL Hunka's until May or June, is there a similar alternative? The Rab survival zone is around sixty quid. Like with most things, there are good and bad reviews out there. Is it a good piece of kit, or should I wait until the Hunka's are back on stock?

40 notes?

Have been toying with replacing my old battered red plastic camping mug with a titinium one. Either that or a Hunka XL bivvy bag.

There's a link in this month's Singletrack.

Whilst doing the Saunders Mountain Marathon a few years ago, my mate brought a bag of Doritos Chili Heatwave. Now I can't get enough of 'em!! That and swiss roll (eaten straight from the packet) and custard. Oh, and maybe a few eggs for breakfast. And not forgetting a drop of sloe gin... And I wonde...
