Bike Boxes and Rome Airport

Morning, Planning the Wolf's Lair for next summer and looking into the logistics... Has anyone either stored bike boxes in the Rome Airport left luggage or purchased/acquired boxes in the near vicinity? When we did Turin/Nice we had the option to buy boxes at Nice airport, but not seeing anything si...

NW Slovenia Route Options

I'm looking at a few days (up to 5ish) this summer in Slovenia and have started stitching together some GPX from various sites, but I'm worried it's all looking a bit road-based: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ah2OrKn-3xdtF6gg2cGKaAHWENjEJV90&usp=sharing Anyone got any route options around th...

Hi all, I've got a wildcat lion for my bar roll, but not sure I'm fitting it right as it gradually rotates/slides down,especially on rougher ground, so the bag ends up rubbing on the tyre, and I have to stop to hoist, reposition and tighten everything... I did have the instructions somewhere to doub...

Re: FS Croix de Fer

Is this still for sale?

Couple of questions:

Where is it?
How tall are you? (6'4" would be ok for a 60cm frame I think?)
Can I see some photos?

It's really quite a sedate trip (...
