That's the code but in anithe language. Apparently you call em on 0808 238 0000 and they send you a secret link to pay for that item number. Hope you get sorted.

I've tried garmin again, will see what they say

Supposed to be 9.95 inc delivery from Garmin Bill... I'll try fetch you the item code...

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).

PF = pressfit
BB = bottom.bracket

That Salsa is very nice indeed thanks Simon. I think he has his heart set on 11 speed though now Bloomin cyclists!!

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

That's some serious engineering you have going on right there... I'm gonna send a pic to my buddy who's just finishing his level 3 in joinery

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.

reccomended this the other week to someone on here. by far your most bike for cash deal at present. stunning value. https://www.paulscycles.co.uk/bikes/mountain-bikes/cube-reaction-pro-hardtail-mountain-bike-2022-greyorange__8925?currency=GBP&chosenAttribute=51210022&gad_source=1&gclid=...

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...

Hello you all lovely bikepacking and gravely type folks :lol: My mate Andy, you know - the one who used to have a Brompton for commuting to work (just kidding Andy, they don't actually know who you are but I'm certain you'll get lots of input) - well he's after a new shiny bike. First thing he menti...

Oh... and happy garage clearout!

Hi Mark. Hoep you're well mate. Any plans at entering the BB200 this year mate. Hopefully I see you there...

This is why I need a blooming good clearout

NB. Thanks Stu...

But... Hopefully once the (old) lockdown project is finally complete I'll/we'll have more wiggle room...

Edit and comment deleted.

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 ...

Lots of pics here if anyone is interested

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).

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...
