What do you mean "stumbled into"? You started the bloody thing!

Your just annoyed that I might get to ‘that’ frame first

Have I stumbled into a niche equivalent of a wheel size thread?

At the minute I'm leaning towards a custom ti sort of a thing

Local off road riding looks a lot like this, usually drier as well

I’m erring towards Gravel Wanger, still a balance of capabilities on different surfaces to think about. But the monster option is just too close to the Ti Hardtail.

Then it’s the awful task of procrastinating about which frame to get

Blimey, I barely manage to keep it as low as once an hour

I wouldn't get a 'gravel' bike for 50-70% off road rides, personally. A monster-x maybe if you really want drops. I love drop bars but not on off-road bikes, prefer a rigid 29er with alt bars (H bars) for that sort of use but monster-x or rigid 29er with alts, same thing really just a different sha...

A website I’ve already visited this morning

If I did go down the Monster route, matching axle standard would give me the option of swapping wheels with the hardtail, and my Travers Prong for that matter.

But then, I’m getting awfy close to the hardtail ....

But enough camper elements have been added to make it a comfortable place to sleep. Including heater/insulation/ventilation. Didn’t bother with a leisure battery, and haven’t ...

So, Idly pondering a fancy new bike, in part prompted by that Travers deal. Now I’m not really in a position to take that deal, but if both myself and SWMBO can hang on to our jobs until next winter we should be fairly secure and I’ll have hidden enough money under the mattress for something quite s...

The postman delivered a post

A titanium post too, the best kind of post

Thanks again Piemonster. Hopefully another donation coming for the RNLI via our niceman--Dan who bought my pedals...

No problem at all Shaf, good to know it’ll see some use.

Same again.

Subs and paper, a triple sale would be taking the ****

Yeh it's really helpful

My rear wheel bust a few spokes and using that app and a tension meter sorted it as the individual spoke tensions were all over the place.

There’s a definite DIRTi type itch https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49765887073_d52e35a079_3k.jpg Do one. That’s not helping :lol: TBF, I ordered a few items yesterday for some long rides later this year so I might be safe unless the deal is still in place next payday. Then I’m in trouble.

If you sell both you can get me one too.

What can go wrong!

I’ve not read the thread so apologies

But if an SQR Super C Slim would work let me know. I’ve a well used but still fully functional one here I can’t quite be bothered to sell and would part with for postage and a small donation to the RNLI.

They’re so shiny ...

If you can just run this deal again in say 6 months time
