Andy, in case you're reading, I'll translate a little for ya (thanks Rob... as he asked me on 11 speeds and internal cables on the day of the thread).

Re: New bike, thoughts!
Sonder. Yes, Andy they're a good brand (just don't get the strongest carbon version) and affordable/quality (somewhat) too.
Hopefully he'll find a nice gravel bike that he can then enter the Bearbones rides![😊](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f60a.svg)

Re: New bike, thoughts!
From what I gathered and speaking to him, it's mainly a road bike it seems. Replacing his other road bike which is 8 speed Sora or something. Hence I'm trying to encourage him to get gravel friendly as there is a few options of excursions around where he is riding.
Thanks Simon and everyone else.

Hi Andy and welcome to the best bikepacking/cycling forum, well, in the world. Soon you'll be getting your first Revelate Design!! Doesn't have to be 1 x 11. 2 x 11 will be just as good and maybe cheaper. Ultegra is the next step up from 105, andy and grx is probably the gravel bike equivalent (whic...

Re: FS Indy Fab Crown Jewel frame 54cm
Thanks you lot. To be honest I think I screwed up aftwr explaining that I'd put a couple Palestine flags, before the current genocide, on 2 parts of the frame. It got translated as, 'so you screwed up the paintwork'. Along with that I mentioned that half the money was going to charity and the buyer ...

FS Indy Fab Crown Jewel frame 54cm
It's a medium. In green. You've probably seen various pics of it on the thread in the last few years but can dig some fresh ones out. Various chips n scrapes but it remains lovely to ride and no dings and worries to report. Tried to sell it over at LFGSS which is where I bought it at during Covid. P...

What a wonderful vid (ignore the way he's performing chest compressions as it's a live person and you wouldn't wanna risk breaking any ribs in this case) that only 189 people have viewed.

Sorry, it's sideways. But shows the point why this new portable device is amazing (pity about the miney hungrys who are marketing it and making it harder to afford, despite more demand/sales).

Re: Automated External Defibrillator bikepqcking version!
I used to be the same Ton. But, if you just think of the ABCDE approach as well as the fact that, 'it can't really get any worse (so try to relax a bit)' you'll always be amazing. Usually in hospital when we see a good-survival after (out of hospital) cardiac arrest, the back story will always be so...

James. Not sure if someone has mentioned, but the best (and maybe only) quilt I had was the Hammock Gear quilt. So light but well proprotioned. Loved that thing and if money allows I'll buy another one day. Not sure if it was one of these versions, but from the top of my head it was about 490g, squi...

As someone who has a history of heart issues this is a good idea. Never realise they could be purchased. Also good to know where the nearest is. Less than half a mile from home which is good to know.
