I did think that just before I posed (only because of the ear ring) but the Marin hoody completely threw me. Was initially thinking one of the repack lads from back in the day (again, due to the hoody) :oops: I'm not surprised the Marin hoody threw you, it's "Made in" !!! :lol: :wink: Tim...

Re: Similar but cheaper (rear rack content)

Thanks for those suggestions. Maybe the idea of three mounts on the rear isn’t as good as I’m thinking it to be Is it not more metal bits to break Simon? I'm not getting stuff like that - looks a right faff to unstrap those bags - I'd just use a set of Ortleib front panniers on a normal rack That’s...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread

Interesting bar from Cannondale Interesting because the crossbar stiffens it makes it less comfy while also being too thin for mounting things to? : ) I suppose it'd be useful for stabilising a bar bag strap. And £15 is a good price. Interesting because I wasn’t sure what style to call it :lol:

Re: Older school gravel cx options?

Kinesis used to do a couple, forgot their names though :o a few friends had them, seemed quite nice

My memory is hazy but Cannondale may need the wheels redishing to sit correctly, so maybe a brand to avoid?

Edit might have been Kinesis Crosslight?
