Hi Ton

If you're still looking, I've an Alfine 11, black / Stans ZTR Arch 29". Shifter, various washers to fit most dropout configs. Around five years old, but not a massive number of miles on it.

Best

Plentytime of time still - Lantern Rouge last time (me & 2 others) was 40 hours or thereabouts. No point in rushing the adventure I say

Ta for the spot - a bit of blue-dotting will be a welcome relief from sanding floors

Have a great time all

Brilliant watch...



..... made me glad to be sitting at my computer

Thanks for the 'I was there' updates James - it's a great help visualising just what it's like where the blue dots are...

Did wonder if it was an acetylene pump/reservoir... image search revealed many similar bike lights but none with that 'remote' from the lamp. Still, in the vein of Ben & Ian's posts above, could be the 'next big thing' ; LED lighting? Pah, I've got 1000,000 lumen acetylene! :cool: (And maybe not...

Why does he have a carburettor hanging from the crossbar I wonder?

Bagpipes; bring a whole new level to a bike vid... smashing!

Thanks Ian

Starts in a colony doesn't it?.... on which basis Queen's English to the border please gentlemen!

Anyone know why 'green dots'?

"Bad teeth no bar"

Sheesh, sounds rough!

Can't have had many takers...

OnOne (or a.n.other) merino for both arm & leg (and merino is cool in the heat oddly)

.... also something vaguely familiar about it;



Mint Sauce has much to answer for..

Will be there today to look at 18bikes 29 tandem (lust/plans)

I'll be the beardy bloke in a 'RoofScope' T shirt, (roofscope.co.uk) if you want to say hi - will have a 'scope in my bag if you want to take a look too

I really am struggling to see the point of these

(look nice tho...)

A quick/cheap version; 'Wrap' (very tough but can cut holes with a Stanley, punch etc) from a derelict wheelie suitcase. Straps from the spares drawer 'keyhole' slits to thread other straps for additional bags. (the molle approach) Weight 180gm (cut more holes to lighten) Construction time about an ...

A tip from making lots of polycro tarps/groundsheets; If you can get woven (http://www.carrierbagshop.co.uk/fibre-woven-tape.html), use that rather than Duct. For the same weight it's way more resistant to tearing than Duct (you have to cut it rather than tear when taping up) and it doesn't deterior...

OO Mary with Ergon 'cork' (v.nice grips I find)

Mine U know... but for others;
