I ‘m in again, looking forward to it.

Hecoiling a carb stud on the cylinder head of my 1955 triumph tiger cub. Next up the gear indicator connection to the quadrant in the gearbox.

As question says what rucksack do you all use ? My mid 1990’s camelbak is showing it’s age and unsuitablility.
Thanks in advance.

Ditto the older but quality machine, I finished making my bags on the wife’s frister rossman model 46 after her modern Bernina died on me. Though this did require me fixing the seized motor on the frister rossman first and now the wife has spent £3000 on a new machine

Sorry for the double post. Yes great to see him recognised for his achievements but so sad that he no longer amazing us with his adventure.

Nice to see Mike Hall recognised in the sports personality of the year obituary section, however still hurts that he is gone to soon.

When my wife high sided and broke her elbow, my maxx-d light bore the brunt and got dented and gouged but still worked. Eventually it stopped working. Contacted exposure, who as said before were very helpful, had the light back and found the charger had failed not the light. Sent new charger and no ...

Here’s my do it all bike, Ritchey P-29er. It does bikepacking, Mtb races, cyclocross races and single speed, but lately more often playgroup run with a child’s bike trailer.

The creation of this thread has a great potential to be one of those barmy university studies ( does toast always land butter side down ), but instead “ do you have greater philosophical thoughts while pointing your house up a ladder ? “

What I say I hope will not offend, but had Mike been taking part just how fast would he/potentially have been. Not to disrespect the amazing riding so far. Inspiring to say the least.

How is lee Craigie doing as I don't see a spot for her?

Max I have used X PAC vx21 material from Point North, www.profabrics.co.uk. Not cheap at £10.50 a half metre. My bag doesn't look so neat inside and I am lucky my wife makes and sells custom soft toys. So we have some good sewing machines. Although I'm attempting to make a front harness bag and the ...

Finally got round to making a frame bag for the jenn ride. It's come out okay considering I never used a sewing machine before.

I am coming up on the Friday. Hopefully there in time to have pre ride pint.

Having two weeks driving to south of France and no excercise, also legs aren't up to it, I will be taking it steady.

Cragrat73 is me. Post bikes (pedal and motor), children, rugby and travel photos, also random poor show.
I quite enjoy seeing the pictures and less so words, as they say a picture says a thousand words.

Very nice finish, was it expensive?
I'm currently getting the 1961 Triumph 21 to run and a Mot.

Had the pleasure of meeting him at SSUK 2011, amazingly talented and genuinely lovely gentleman.
Unbelievably sad news RIP.

Echoing the comments before, go for it, you can ride into fitness on the way and having seen family members taken from us too soon. Live while you can.

Having read the mountain bike book which featured the crane brothers trip to the centre of the earth and see that he still has that bike (complete with gear shifters sawn in half to save weight! ) . That was something and to see his obvious affection for it. To round the story off, I got my first po...

Having a couple classic triumphs and bandsaw, my workshop smells of oil and wood. Lovely,

Mine arrived last Friday and I concur with all before, a beautiful piece of work. Well done all involved.

I will be doing the 100 miles, never ridden in the area before, so really looking forward to it. Aiming for at enjoy it style pace. Any sage advice and wisdom you would like to pass on?

Just got a service kit from afore mentioned TF tuned and plan to service my Reba rlt's tonight, well wife's out and hopefully the two year old will go to bed easily. My reba's are 100mm and I have read that you can remove the internal spacers to make them 120mm travel. Will hopefully find out if thi...
