Profile Design T2+ Aerobars SOLD

I bought these a bit back as I couldn't find the set I already owned :lol: These bars are clever as the armrest clamps are independent of the bar clamps which means you can run the aero cockpit closer to you than conventional tri clip ons.

Re: Wheeltop EDS Shifter/Derailleur

I've done a bit of research and the only thing I saw of 'concern' was possible corrosion which won't concern you in sunny Spain.

We did most of it a few years back. The route has defo changed in part since then. Apart from the spectacular bits, prepare for brambles and nettles galore.

Sony RX100 Mk3 SOLD

I had a couple of versions of this camera, and as great as they all are, I just use my phone these days.

I bought this to rekindle my camera love, but I've hardly used it.

No faults, comes with a spare battery and a lowepro case.

Transdinarica 5500kms in the Balkans

I came across this the other day https://www.transdinarica.com/something ... the-route/

Interestingly you can buy navigation packages for the route which tbh seems quite reasonable.

Re: Frame and Fork respray.

What did you do? Despite owning sprat guns and compressors, I decided to paint this using nothing but off the shelf spray cans to hopefully try and prove that anyone can paint something and achieve a reasonable result. Any better pics? How did you mask the different colours? Clear coat over the top?

Frame and Fork respray.

I've recently bought what is hopefully a nice steel frame and fork that definitely needs a new coat of paint. I'm not sure I want something mega fancy, but the lugs, seat stays and fork crown are stainless and unpainted so £70 at the powder coasters like the last frame I had done won't cut it. I do ...

I upgraded a while back to an Explore 2 so this has been sat in the drawer.
It comes with a Garmin 1:50K UK card.
A couple of tiny marks on the screen.

Re: Folding Bikes - Experiences..

I've been looking for one of these for ages. A Reisse and Muller Birdy. A full suspension folder. Today I drove a long way to pick it up. Needs new tyres, otherwise in amazing condition considering it is over 20 years old.
