I’ve got a new unridden Medium Ritchey Commando frameset with wheels and some other build bits I’m looking to offload. PM me if interested.

Have you looked at Gevenalle shifters?http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/gev ... 1371-p.asp

Anyone signed up to do this on Sunday? Slightly concerned by potential conditions following recent rain!

Ah, you’re right Jose. Looks like wheels will be the most expensive part of the build.

I’m considering a pair of Alpkit’s Love Mud fat wheels - seem great value at £279.00

Was tipped off earlier that Planet X have SRAM Gx fat cranks (170mm, 28t) on offer at £40 so picked up a set. On inspection the cheapest place to get a 100mm gx bb is Tredz

Myself and a friend are going, and it will also be our first bikepacking experience. We did the bikemonger bimble in 2016 which was also around the purbecks over one day. Lovely route and we had a right laugh drinking with Charlie and a few other really friendly participants that night. Can’t wait!

I’ll take this please.

Silver Chris King ISO Disc QR MTB hubs (silver) laced to matt black surly rabbit hole rims. Super condition. I’ve not actually used these myself - bought them second hand 6 months ago so looking to recover the £425 I paid. Also have a pair of Knards with lots of life left that I’m open to negotiatio...

Thanks Crow

Thank you for the offer but I'm nowhere near Banbury. Think if it's still wet next week I'll try the Gatos or maybe buy some specialized storm controls which worked well on the Downs for me a few years back.

Cheers. I've got some Geax Gatos mud tyres that might do the trick, Spesh Ground Control or Maxxis Ardent 2.4. Also potentially I could stick a plus sized wheel in the front. Only have Knards in that size though which aren't the best in the wet.

Will be doing the SDW over a leisurely 3 days with friends next week and given current weather I'm getting a little concerned over tyre choice. I'll be on a rigid Surly Ogre, wondered if anyone has ridden the route in the last week and how they fared on the wet chalk! Thanks Tom

Ah, too big for me. Thanks anyway.

What size is the frame bag please?

SOLD. Thank you.

Now looking for £250 excluding headset or £310 with.

In fantastic condition with barely a scratch - the sky blue variant (drop bar version). 54cm and complete with brand new silver Hope headset. Steerer uncut. Bought this with the intention of building up for a mini tour of France / Belgium that didn't happen. Details here, can run geared / hub gear u...

Will do. Cheers

Hi, keen on the harness but could you post some pics? Thank you Tom
