Re: 1400 metre climb over 100km ??
sorry,i should have made it clearer. going touring in france in the summer.
1st days ride is 100km but climbing up to 1500 metres from a start at 100 metres.
Mrs T is a bit worried, so we were gonna try and few training rides.

Re: 1400 metre climb over 100km ??
doh, sorry for the idiocy.
rode the Pass of The Cattle a couple of years ago.
could do 2 in a day with low gearing, so this answers my question kind of.

Re: We live in a 'golden age' if your bike preferences aren't off the shelf
looks perfect to me mate. a proper usable bike.
and i love the fact that a odd bunch of bike parts can make such a nice thing, rather than buying a groupset complete.

2.5kg too heavy for bar harness ?
just wondering what would be considered too heavy for a bar harness ?
i have quite a tidy set up bag wise, but my harness when packed weighs 2.5kg.
in my hands it feels bulky, but ok on the bike.
