Here's my old Jake that I no longer have (kinda regret getting rid now). Was a great bike. Did a lot of off road on it, cycled the Irish end to end and did a few centry rides and a sportive in roadie mode. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/shawnmcfarlane/1-DSC01946.jpg was a 52 and had a bit ...

Any use to anyone? Trying to sort out the spares! Shimano r400 8 speed down tube shifter on a kelly take off. Great alternative to a bar end lever for a 1x8 set up, or will take any other down tube lever you fancy Looks like this (just the lever and the bracket, clamps on under your brake lever) £20...

I'm trying upside down mary bars just now taped up with road tape. Only been a week but I rather like the shape. This is my 1st go at sweep bars and I didn't want to spend out for Jones loops and a new stem. My lights are helmet mounted but I suppose my gps will be at a funny angle when I have my sl...

Mary bars turned up in the post. Had a beer while I was fitting them :?

sold

Yeah they currently have a 12 page arguement on how to overtake roadies :)

£130 on a Rab infinity down jacket. Have I lost the plot? Just curious but did you consider a synthetic alternative? I genuinely find it odd that someone who loves animals enough to take their dog on a bivi would then buy a down jacket. (I'm sort of in an argumentative mood today :roll: ) Personall...

Used a few times only, think I am a bit lazy and prefer to just fire up my gas stove but this is a cool little stove. £28 posted http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product577.asp?PageID=1 Reviewed by Stu here (the stainless steel version) - http://bearbonesbikepacking.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/pocket-s...

Hi Chew, sounds good, can you drop me a mail to smcfarlane at gmail dot com with a pic and price please? cheers Shawn

you won't need to be fit to keep up with me!

I so want a canadian canoe looking at those pics

Weather was good when I got home from work Friday night so I grabbed the bike and headed off to the Eildon Hills (only about 7 miles away). Only a short trip out for the night alone but most enjoyable after a crap week. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/shawnmcfarlane/5-DSC02949-001.jpg Stupi...

Need something I can eat from without taking my backpack off (coz that means I just forget to eat!)

Anyone got something spare they are wanting rid off?

Never tried taking my black lab thing, he's fine with the biking but don't think he would understand the stopping bit! He'd definately need a coat overnight, fine when he is running and stuff but he get's cold if there is hanging about and it's chilly

looks good

did you draw your template so it didn't go any further into the headtube junction than that or is that just how they made it anyway?

got a pic of it fitted? (the bag not the stick of rock)

ta, don't think its for me, which saves me £40 :)

stu, is there anywhere on that pack to put in any kind of light back pad?

I thought my alpkit gourdon 20 was light till i saw that! though the gourdon is actually very comfy with light loads. I tend to use it with the back pad removed and my air mat folded into the back pad/bladder pocket

I have a mountain equipment dragonfly 2 xt that ticks most of your boxes. I got it especially for cycle touring with 2 and having a massive porch for all the gear. Have pitched it @ 600m in terrible weather and it never budged an inch Not the lightest ot the cheapest but I got it on sale so it wasn'...

yeah throw away the milk and replace with 500ml of rum, much better !

one silver rim and 1 black? bar ends on risers? don't show them that pic on singletrackworld they will burn you alive

I have just bought a minimus in 'that green' for 95 quid online, not been out to try it out yet a amazingly it didn't rain when I took the dog for a ride on Sunday! Without the stuffsack it weighed in @ 205g in medium on the digital scales at home Don't think I would like to crash in it so more like...

FFS the ordering of these is balls, I looked at their site like a million times on the 9th from stupid early o'clock before I went to work and never say them come on sale then 'sold out'! now they decide to sell some more while I am driving home from work and walkinmg the dogs :evil: I think I will ...

I bought a Revelate sling before the mountain lion was available and wasn't too impressed with the way it was gonna polish the headtube. I took a more permanent approach with my on one forks, since they were steel, to give me something to attach the lower strap to and keep the bag off the headtube ....

Got a Montane Minimus in the post yesterday to give Pertex Shield a go. Claimed weight 215g actual weigh in on the kitchen scales for a medium without stuff sack 205g. Strangely only the mucus infection green with red zip was available on sale @ 95 :? I think there may be some rain this weekend to t...

I can't even see the picture here at work but I am pretty sure I want one!

Will an alpkit my ti mug (750ml) be too big for it?
