Frame and Fork respray.

I've recently bought what is hopefully a nice steel frame and fork that definitely needs a new coat of paint. I'm not sure I want something mega fancy, but the lugs, seat stays and fork crown are stainless and unpainted so £70 at the powder coasters like the last frame I had done won't cut it. I do ...

FS Garmin 650 ---- SOLD

I upgraded a while back to an Explore 2 so this has been sat in the drawer.
It comes with a Garmin 1:50K UK card.
A couple of tiny marks on the screen.

Re: Folding Bikes - Experiences..

I've been looking for one of these for ages. A Reisse and Muller Birdy. A full suspension folder. Today I drove a long way to pick it up. Needs new tyres, otherwise in amazing condition considering it is over 20 years old.

No pole or pegs, but all the guylines are included. No faults Selling as I've just bought a freestanding tent for my winter trips. £350 inc...

I can't help thinking, as someone who has not done it, that the run in from Fort William to Bridge of Orchy is a real sting in the tail after the distance already ridden, especially if you fall into that mental black hole of thinking 'almost there' :shock: The section from Devil's staircase to Tynd...

Re: The post man's been ...

After looking in vain for a Hilleberg within budget I came across the Kuiu Storm Star. It makes for a tight pitch with its X-Pac reinforcement even though I know this has already been used for a few nights. 200 grams heavier than a Soulo but lots more room and two doors. https://i.imgur.com/PIhXQAV....
