FS – Swarf hardtail frame – large 650b+/29er

FS – Swarf hardtail frame – large 650b+/29er Due to ongoing back issues I’m having to sell my gorgeous Swarf hardtail frame. It’s a large but with very modern geometry, low standover, long top tube (640mm) to suit a 30/40mm stem with a low BB and nicely slack 66.5 head angle. Based around a 120/130m...

The prong is no longer on the website though to buy?

Carbon 29er forks with anything cage mounts?

Are the Salsa Firestater forks the only ones out there?

Don't won't to use extra clamps, so ideally would like them built in.

Re: Multi tool preference and tool kit ideas

Are you not better just carrying a small set of adjustable pilers. You can't go wrong with Knipex 125 Cobra Pliers.

They punch well above there weight which is only 85grams, way more powerful than any leatherman pliers.

Heart rate monitor watch with no chest strap and beeps?

Sounds simple but looking for a very basic HR monitor watch with the built in optical HR monitor (so no chest strap) that will beep at me if I go over a certain HR bpm. Thought the garim virosmart HR would have done it and be great as I use garmin connect with my edge 800 but looking at the manual i...

Re: Cycling Touring help - Venice????

Yep, I've seen that but it seems to say the island of Lido is the only one which is cycle friendly. But how do you actually get there? As when you google bikes on the water buses they say it's a nightmare and up to the driver if they let you on. Like I say I don't want to actually ride my bike there.
