Thanks to the bargain alert thread, and being a short bloke, I'm the happy owner of a mountain equipment women's sleeping bag. Once again the bargain alert thread has come up trumps and the sea to summit bags look tempting for a winter bag - as I sleep really 'cold'. The women's bag I'm interested i...

FAB! Sounds like a plan to me.

Shows hand! Me please guv!
Hoping a bimble is a social pace.

I've also got an old injury on one hand. I initially tried on-one Mary bars which helped (on a rigid 29er). I then changed to Jones bars and whilst I loved the position on that bike they felt a bit too rigid and that (I think) on longer rides contributed to numbness. Now I've bought a fat bike with ...

bit of a lax summer in terms of weighing in, but I've been (mostly) continuing with good habits

last weigh in here was
13/7/18 72.2 kg (158.84).

so I'm happy with today's

5/10/18 72.5 kgs (159.5)

keep on keeping on all

Fantastic!

As a new convert to the ways of the fat, with my lovely 'Dale fat Caad 1 with lefty, I'd be interested in a FB forum.

thanks all for the offers.

The XT ones appeal most - I'm so shallow!

But the Tektros would be good for daughter's pub bike so Greg and Scattamah have PM'd you both.

Lazarus - boat related pm may well follow in the near future!

cheers

The last two weekends have been a collection of short rides up the Grand Union canal towpath, to get back to the car to then bring the car down to where the narrow boat is, as we slowly bring the boat to near home. As a slow cyclist, it's really weird covering the return route quicker than the outwa...

I'm rebuilding an old alloy framed Dahon Vitesse 7 speed folder, that I rescued from someone about to dump it at the local tip, to be the canal boat bike Did I mention we've bought a canal boat?! :grin: :-bd There is talk of paining it to match the boat as I'm sad like that. :oops: I'm after some V ...

Chuffed to say I've hit my first target of 72.5kg which is me not being overweight (by bmi). I know bmi's a bit rubbish but it'll...

Not sure if this should be in here or in the postman's been thread, but I just received an email staying that we are now the legal owners of a narrowboat called Quintessence.

We collect it tomorrow and start the potter back to a mooring near home.

I feel pretty cheery about that!

That's a great photo Rich. And the 'I'm not putting my feet down in this' look of concentration is timeless

Fab.

I've PM'd you

Seat pack now reduced to £35 posted (mainland UK)

It's ready to go, as I packed it up by mistake when packing the other bags!

Realised we were approaching the end of the month so snuck out with the fat bike to my local nature reserve. Sleeping bag, mat, inflatable pillow and a bottle of water. Lovely. :grin: Currently in my local station enjoying a bacon sarnie and a cuppa before heading home to freshen up, grab the folder...

Great.
Some reusable zip ties are inside. I pop them over the Velcro to stop any wobble

Hi Rob

No, it pre-dates the exo rail model, so it's not got the sleeves for the rails

tapered drybag also now sold.
seatpack still available.

I didn't think to query as it said 'tubeless' not 'tubeless ready'!

Clearly I'm far too trusting

A belated update. On a stony downhill, on the Dorset gravel dash, I heard a hissing sound from the front tyre, and despite my best efforts of spinning and wiggling the wheel the sealant didn't seal. So after a bit of faffing, I decided to fit my spare inner tube. To my surprise there was an inner tu...

a Wolftooth xl strap to hold a fat bike tube, and a copy of the Rough Stuff Cycling in the Alps reprint.

have to make sure I'm not forgetful and leave the book somewhere...
