Absolutely. Great. I recall there being a thread on STW about routes Edin-Peebles.

I haven't a great deal of experience with different tyres but I love the Smorgasbord (26") - fairly grippy, not too draggy, kinda bouncy feeling, cheap

I'm interested in joining this. Any date would be fine

My transformation to a roadie is now complete - three Crikey, how much jerseys, and in a svelte Small. In my defence, they are in the sale and they are purdy

they are £4 on ebay. Just bought and fitted one myself (inc a lanyard to deal with any unexpected eject)

- Garmin Dakota 20 GPS
- First ever SPD pedals and shoes

My spending is out of control this week. Drop bars, bar-end levers, brake levers all ordered too. :oops:

Does the £25 include Big shakeout entry? It does ... £25 gets you: In to Shakeout on Fri night, then it's off into the hills aiming to be back by 5pm Sat. There'll be a special BB bivvy friendly camping spot for Sat night, where you can pitch up on your return. Once back, enjoy the Shakeout on Sat ...

I've been keeping an eye on this. It's now in stock but increased to £150, same as amazon

I've not been able to contact Ray by email/text/PM and so I am pulling out (unless someone contacts me this evening to say it is on). I've not got a GPS and so don't want to turn up potentially on my own and not know how to get around and then home

I've PM and emailed him but nothing. I'll have to pull out of tomorrow's ride if I can't as I don't have a GPS so I am not potentially just gonna tip up on my own not knowing the route. And the weather is now looking worse

I'm still a yes too. Hope someone else is as I don't have a GPS. The report has been looking marginally better as the week has gone on

I'm doing Ray's coast to coast ride in Jun but considering Gorm Jul-Aug......

Two dildos and a free saddle

Ray, what's the advantage of mod other than the profile is slightly better? That's never been that much of an issue for me, not really any leg rub with an unmodded bag. The mod loses space

It's a faff posting links on my phone - google alpkit diy saddle bag

Funn Full-On bars are only £16 at CRC. Some wide options available. I've now bought 2 pairs of 750mm, which would be rude not to

Thanks Paul ^ that might be borderline OK although, true, getting them isn't easy. Marys are 640 which isn't borderline.

But also, the postman's been - Funn Full-On bars (750 wide), which are a complete steal at £20 from CRC
