Re: Is it an adventure bike....?

Check out bombtrack bikes, they have a drop bar mtn bike that looks like a mk1 fargo, they also have things like dyno hubs as standard on certain bikes and round the world type setups off the peg.

Re: New Revelate Gas Tank

Just a quicky, the current model of the Gas tank will still be available, for those peeps that want it. I do agree about the change of the forward securing strap being a step backward, but it does work on a lot more styles of velo's

Re: Cumulus Quilts

As a stockist of Criterion Sleeping bags (CUmulus new name) Ive been hounding them for a while to bring over the quilts, But sadly they are not keen. (sad face)

The last time I spoke with Cumulus direct they said "they can't sell to the UK YET!" so Hopefully soon

Re: New Alpkit Bikepacking Gear

As I Said in my post we have no idea of price yet, I'm sure it will be priced competitively for the quality of the product, I understand alot of people think Revelate is over priced, but you get what you pay for, and from Eric you get an awful lot.
