Re: WRT route planning help

Draw the route in Osgetamap online (and then convert to a gpx track in bikehike as osgetamap adds in loads of waypoints that scuppers the garmin) or in bikehike.co.uk itself.

I've got a TN Argon, they don't seem to make it any more but it weighs bugger all and you can fit two in and have kit storage/doors on both sides.

Re: Sinewave Revolution un-scientific findings

I think they are only available direct:

I was also looking at this as it's cheaper but the output is lower so might take an age to actually charge anything:

Postage is only $15. It's the $120 & potential import taxes that put me off!

Re: Stanforth Bikes - urban expedition?

Steel frames at the cutting edge have got better (853, 931, 953) but I'm not sure that a lugged 631 frame is any better than a '90's 531. In theory it should be better than the original '80's conquests as the butting profiles of the tubes should be more in line with what is required for an MTB. Dep...

It's a lot of money to spend to remind yourself how duff bikes were back in the day! I know the Rover Mini sold largely unchanged for 40 odd years but that offered something modern cars didn't.
