This is an interesting read about someone who cycled 9000km along the Iron curtain on an East German built shopper!

My two speed Brompton. Although I have seen plenty of people touring the NCN on them. So I suppose it depends how far off road you are going.

Brilliant. I never knew the Welsh language was so interesting.

I've been on a very similar search, with not quite as an exacting requirement list. I'm going for the Broken road. It ticks most of the boxes for me. Another bike that you might want to consider is the Velohold Iron. https://www.veloheld.de/bikesnframes/adventure/cat-veloheld-iron available as a fra...

These guys make some beautiful films!

Cannondale 1fg Ultra. Bought it new in about 2004 for £850 and still have it.

Beautiful lightweight scandium frame, headshock and EBB. For me it's been the perfect singlespeed bike.

Anyone dithering over entering, needs to undither. There are only 15 entries left!!

Good luck and good weather!

Really enjoyed watching this.

I don't know how good this seat pack is, but it's certainly cheap!

+1 for "standard" brightness for rear lights and for having more than one - one could get knocked off (I've had this happen) - and you can have one set to flashing mode and one to steady mode. I've one of these: https://www.evanscycles.com/fwe-rechargeable-rear-light-15-lumen-EV244786 which has a w...

Exposure Blaze for me. Bright and long lasting!

I was just about to press the button on a Thermarest Uberlite, but having read some reviews there seems to be a very high failure rate. Not sure what to do now

Did it this year for first time. Brilliant event, great location. Plan on doing it again next year.

Anyway, Dave gets a nice prize through the post for his trouble

Too subtle for me. Didn't notice it at all

I bought one of these for one of my boys when he was a similar age. Obviously not top end stuff, but surprisingly not too heavy. Got back almost what I paid when I sold it. https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/junior-bikes/carrera-blast-junior-mountain-bike-24-wheel Sorry Graham.. I forgot to spe...

Not so much the postie delivering but more a holiday pillage of various store sales. Came up trumps with Thermarest Uberlite (Regular size - 206g - R2). Half the weight of my aging Xlite and just as comfy but without the instant heat reflection of the Xlite. Where did you buy the Thermarest Uberlit...

I really can't decide on clipless or flat pedals.

I've used a few over the last couple of years, here a few thoughts from experience: Endura Urban Stretch: https://www.endurasport.com/Urban-Stretch-Hose/p/bEU8045 Tight fit if you have muscular legs, but very stretchy and great to ride and work in. Decent looking too. Sensible pockets. Unfortunatel...
