WTD: Cheap and nasty friction shifter

Hello. I’m looking for a cheap bar-end friction shifter that I can experiment on. It’s likely to go wrong so I really don’t want to ruin a perfectly good piece of kit and preferably not spend a lot of cash on. Preferably Shimano with a wider range… but at this point I’ll take anything. Left or right...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread

RAB eVent Alpine bivi bags reduced from £270 to £110 (promo code SP-SC-20). If the code doesn't work you may need to be a member (free). Thanks for that! I almost pulled the trigger without using the code. Nice bonus discount at the checkout. I grabbed one and a RAB silk liner, also at half price. ...

Re: The post man's been ...

I gave AlasdairMc’s Singular Swift a new home.

Sat eagerly refreshing the tracking code on Tue morning only to say it was sat in the Edinburgh depot. Popped to the shops for an hour at 11am, when I got back it was sat in my hallway. :shock:

I went for a spin over the South Downs and was dazzled by the lines. Had some lovely shots framed up but the light was constantly changing.

Flat pedal shoe recommendations

Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. After piling on some excess reserves over Christmas I need to back out on the bike asap but my only footwear options are wellies or a pair of pristine white Dunlops.

Oh great, looking forward to this even more now! I've spent a lot of time on the IOW but not much riding.

How many people turn up in fancy dress then? Are we talking about a handful of people or do most people make an effort? Got a couple of ideas up my sleeve…
