Re: Seeking : Cheep CX bike around 53cm £300 ish
If you can stretch your budget a bit, my wife is selling her Cannondale CAADX as she hardly uses it. It's a 54cm, I think she's looking at a bottom line of £400, mail me if you want a photo.

Reading the comments above makes me recall the Flashdance scene in the Full Monty where they are commenting on the "mix" on the dancer's welding torch.

Re: Best Ever Saddle
I've also found the Bel Air comfortable on mountain bikes where my position is more upright and I move around more but I find narrower and minimalist saddles like Selle Italia Flites better on the road bikes where I'm in a much more aero position. I think there is a lot to be said for more flexible ...

Re: Potential stupid Q - Fat Bike mech'.
Oh, and the El Guapo HDM clamp shown on the same page and a HDM front mech, sorry forgot that bit. God knows why they call it an El Guapo part as the EG comes with a 73mm BB.

Re: Trans Catalunya
Call me picky but I rather like the idea of a route that actually exists on the ground and I know it's splitting hairs but the entry fee is currently £240 for the next week. I'm sure I'll be doing a bit of pushing just to get value for money you understand :wink: The cost questioning that is going o...

Re: Trans Catalunya
Fair comment re the cost but bear in mind it could be expensive to get to the start, there's no train link into the Pyrenees from the Spanish side. Yes, there are a couple of manned points on the route which may or may not coincide with needing to eat or sleep but it also needs pointing out that fin...

Re: Trans Catalunya
The event website has been updated quite a bit over the last week. There's now a 400km/4 day option as well now. The entry fee includes transfer from the finish to the start and pasta party on the evening before. This makes sense as there are far more flight options to Reus, Barcelona or even Valenc...

Re: Where do you WANT to live and why?
After several years refining our search for a suitable place to move to, we have hopefully found it. Situated about half way between Barcelona and Valencia, just north of the River Ebro Delta, there are 3 mountain areas, the El Port, Cardo and Priorat massifs are riddled with trails which the locals...

I realise it's a full bike but at least it's the right size. I can courier it to you if you want it.

Selling my wife's Cannondale, she's used it for a couple of off road Duathlons and some touring. Can supply pannier rack. Frame size is 54cm and it is in very good condition. £500 posted or could meet to deliver within reason. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/79301762/Camera%20Uploads/2014-12-02%...

Re: Your favourite grid square?
I also have fond memories of SN7889, almost 40 years ago I went motorbike trail riding with my father and a friend of his. They were on a Triumph Adventurer and a Yamaha DT250, being 16 I was on a Honda SS50 moped. The river crossing there was too deep for the SS50 and it drowned out, we picked it u...

Mine's 225.42 miles in 12 hours doing the National 12 Hour TT Champs. Beat my brother in law by 3 miles but pretty woeful compared to Andy Wilkinson who won with a then event record of 302 miles!!

You want the one designed for the Team Alu (now defunct) fork which is the right diameter once you remove the sleeve it comes with. [urlhttp://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FSPXFCENT/planet-x ... atty-fork)][/url]
