If you're on a budget I saw this one (of 5 in stock) at Southport's newly opened Mountain Warehouse store. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7424/9480285346_1f2d7de823_c.jpg Smaller and lighter than my ex army bivi bag but I didn't pull it out of it's bag to see what it was like, but under £17.50, and w...

Anyone seen this yet?

Sorry if it's been done before

Weather window says tomorrow night is go.

I'll be riding from home, 30 miles+ each way, KFC for supper

Post up if you want to join in riding in from the West

Cheers Greenmug.

Bad news, we think it's going to be on Thursday, plus as only 2 of us from the North West have signed up we are going to ride from home and head towards Rivington instead of Gisburn.

Sorry

Commitments, don't you just hate them.

Without them where would you ride?

I'd start with this one

I'm getting into these mid week #MicroAdventures and on the 7th or 8th August (weather depending) I'm heading up to RIVINGTON with a mate for a 5pm to 9am bivi ride.

Buy the frame, fork and wheel set, fit a lighter weight saddle, carbon seat post, go bling 1 x 10 upgrade = under 30 lbs I'd guess. camping bike that's as much fun as a Krampus with dangly bits

I test rode the Surly Krampus 29er+ back in May at Fat Fourth and fell in love with how it handled but without and braze on mounts and a rumour from the guys at Surly who were over at Fat Fourth that a bike packing specific version would be out in 2014.

Has anyone with a Borah ever had the sorts of problems that taped seams are meant cure?

Surly if this was an issues they would tape seams as they make them wouldn't they?

Cheers all, looks like the Borah has my name on it and I've dropped them an email.

Do you thing the Thermarest Neo Air will fit inside the Borah and give enough room for my winter bag which is a Mountain Hardware Lamina 0 synthetic bag (which claims to go down to -18 degrees)

Cheers, after a search on here for "Borah" I found this very useful thread.

Sorry to ask but is there anything lighter and as good as a Hunka bivi bag?

It will be used under a tarp. What other quality bivi bags are out there in the market place please?

I like how you've used the wheels.

Idea knicked

The best padded, the best fitting and usually the most expensive you can afford as these WILL last the longest.

I go for Skins C400's

Now should I start a what guy rode thread or will I be banned?

I think the Siltarp 1 get's my vote now because of it's weight saving, cheers I was looking at the Siltarp1 and was on the verge of buying it when it was pointed out to me on here that it would not be large enough to cover my entire sleeping form. Because of this (and the fact I live in rainy Scotl...
