Just ordered one, so can feel project mark ii coming into play again (but with a better area for me!)

Also not totally convinced it’s the right size. I’m 173cm and bought a 54.5 but it’s a lot more compact compared to my other bikes I’m 170ish and got the same size, it’s a biggest frame I’ve had and it fits well, think they run a little small (I’d normally opt for 52cm or so). That’s a shame if you...

I’ve spent all week (maybe a forum career?!) contributing nothing but unhelpful advice this week, so might as well carry on… No mudguards for me either, just put up with a muddy or soapy bum but I only ride solo and most rides on it take in off road. Was thinking of those ass saver win wings to keep...

Can’t help but Restrap did a tour there recently

At the risk of de-railing (thanks, I’m here all day) the thread, that inside no 9 episode was brilliant, one of my favourites!

Back on track ( ), the man in seat 61 may be helpful

I see he’s got a twitter site etc, so maybe able to ask there too

Check out one of the uk fatbike forums on Facebook, there was some talk on there about sourcing them

That's slightly perverse - all that tech to make it light and aero but if its got a motor then it will still only do 27kph. Target audience - rich idiots who want the look but can't be bothered putting in the miles. Yawn. Oh, you want a bike for rich idiots...? I give you the J.LAVERACK ASTON MARTI...

Not a film but on BBC you’ll find Uncanny to get you in the mood of Halloween.

I’d say it’s very good stuff, slim fitting (or at least the male side is), got a couple of pieces and they’ve lasted really well. Would happily buy their stuff again

And in the Shambles

York (iPhone if anyone cares)

Just came across this https://explorersweb.com/bothy-walk-completed/ and thought it may be of interest for some (and many will surely have followed her progress) on here. :-bd Ta, her instagram page is worth visiting :-bd Reminds me of the chap who visited all or nearly all the bothies putting hook...

Earlier this week, but with a second hand Bike Friday 20" folding bike. Looking forward to putting it together and getting out for a spin on it this afternoon when the weather clears up, and then dreaming up some public transport-based adventures to take it on :cool: Keen to hear about the upc...

Just finished Shackleton (audio version if it makes a difference?) by Ranulph Fiennes.

Was something I have been meaning to read for a while but just never got around to committing to.

Wow! What a story, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Liking this from Bespoked show https://theradavist.com/2023-bespoked-gallery-2/ enlighten me ... I'm obviously missing something. I see collection of grey tubes and functional parts and a wide tyres but mediocre cable disk brakes... . But it just a 'Grovel bike'. Where is the artistry and fancy lug...

Like that a lot

Might put the pictures in a modern art gallery, they’ll go down a storm!

Brilliant! :-bd Might steal that idea :cool: I copied this from an instagram post I saw a while back :-bd They used a suitcase for the base but I went with a block of wood Looks great.

And one more

Using a newish but useless wheel (well, the hub section) that has sat in my garage for a couple of years, I decided I would make a lamp. Bought a lamp lead with fittings for £7 and a fancy bulb for £4.50 and after a bit of sawing and chopping, this was the result

A fancy lightbulb, a lead with a lamp holder on the end. Hmmm, I have a project in mind with a spare wheel and a block of wood…

Just found out Spotify are doing talking books now

Just celebrated my 39th birthday this week, so I reckon that means it’s one big party year until my 40th??

Training course away next week got cancelled, so that means I can stay at home but will miss out on eating curry for three nights in a row with beer on expenses
