Water bottle with a top for me too (from Halfords) I have added a cord loop to ping the top off when wearing mitts.

Scotroutes : The picture doesn't show - would be interested how far you have got with the design !

Hi ton, I would like one of the saddles. Please let me know details for payment.
All the best David

I use a "topper" made from that silverised bubble wrap on top of my airbed. It is torso length and held in place with 3 mm shock cord loops. It seems to improve things.

In as new condition - Grey outer shell, red lining.

Not much more to say !

Julian Sayarer wrote a good book about cycling around the world (and his reasons for doing it) based on the politics of adventure. His book about being a cycle courier in London is good too.

As new condition, comes with one elasticated velcro strap

This is the traditional "bent wire" design, not the HD version.

"It's the only way to get the wife out wild camping...... So if you can't beat them join them in a camper van (due this weekend)" I have needed to remind a few friends who have recently bought huge camper vans and park up in remote laybys.... With all respect that's not wild camping, just ...

Have pm d you in case ton only wants one. Thanks

Not a Sunrace, but I put together a Ghetto 9 speed 11-40 based on a Shimano cassette.

It works well with a Tiagra long cage rear mech if you are on the drop bar route.

Will pm you

Stick with the goat link. I am pretty sure that you cannot use 10 speed mtb rear mechs with 10 speed stis, but 9 speed mtb mechs like you have work. Richpips had a note about this in his classifieds a while back.

. Will pm you

Will PM re mini filter

Yes please, have pmd you.

Thanks for the local update

I have just received this : The road that leaves the A40 at Llywel heading north over towards Tirabad. This road is generally open for the public to transit, but I would ask that on the day before your travel you call my Ops room (01874 635599) and get confirmation that the road is open just in case...

Thanks for that, will try the contacts !

This is the road that goes through the Sennybridge military area. Does anyone know if it is usually open to the public - I have had a bit of a google looking for a phone number to confirm but no luck yet. I know that the Cambrian Trail goes through the forest nearby, but will be on my road bike. Man...

I aim to have a quick trip on Thursday night if anyone wants to meet up. Loose plan is to leave Bristol after work 6 ish via Ashton Court / Festival Way for a beer at The Crown in Churchill and find somewhere nearby to sleep. Friday morning head home using bridleways where possible via Blackdown, Bu...

February done last weekend so now on 2/2 Quiet lanes and Sustrans paths after work then over the Severn Bridge in sunshine and then up to beyond Devauden to check on this years future llama do delivery. https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/25932056fce411373c54105e7ec5f868dd8de0da39aff02852bc4f0dfbba9b35...

I just stumbled on this very enjoyable rolling interview with Mike Parker : http://thebikeshow.net/ it covers maps, cycling, Wales...so maybe of interest to the forum. Mike Parker's book "Map Addict" is a good read and he is a nearish neighbour of BB towers too. There are several more bike...

If anyone is ordering, could they +1 for me on a super 8 strap ? Not back in the UK til Friday and can't get to their checkout on my phone. Realise there is a wait list etc and will pay any postage etc. Thanks

1/12 for me last Friday night (20th Jan) : Train to Bridgwater after work, quick stop off at SJSC then across the flatlands and Polden Hills in winter sun to Shapwick for the evening mega murmuration. A pint in the Railway Inn later - a full house for the Prize Bingo and a a lot of tutting for the o...

Not second hand but ...

I saw a frame bag on the Lomo website. I have not tried it myself but £ 23 sounds OK and all of their other stuff is pretty good.

Also benp1 sent a link to the KTM seat pack a while back which is good value.

Good luck
