Looks good. Can you fit a bottle holder in the space?

I'm having an anti bottle phase anyway

Wasn't really courtesy of the postman as I went round to Mat / Ukhammocks to collect some stuff last night. Fatal mistake :shock:

Picked up a 3/4 summer fill (250g) UG in featherlite pertex. Downy loveliness. The size isn't what I expected but hey ho, I like it!

An array of quilt hooks, quilt clips, Dutch clips, hooks and some glowing lineloks. But I still managed to forget what I really wanted which was a pair of Whoopie Hooks. Now I have to go back! I remembered the blinking amsteel for the whoopies I'm going to splice them into but not the damn hooks :lol:

Netted tarp tubes and an EDC hammock.

Blinking flip :roll:

Didn't even get to try the Blackbird as the boy commandered it. Brief time in the Ridge Runner were very comfortable, if a little "tippy". Early days. Need to get a hang of the set up.

Are you going to run in them or are they camp/river crossing wear?

Rather than camp river crossing wear

A nice man in Brecon sent me one of these today.
He'd won it in the Alpkit/Go Pro comp just before christmas and didn't like it so I took it off his hands for a knock down price. :D

And a backpacking book from Stu.

Probably neither. I liked the look of them and they were only £20 :)
You may even be shocked to hear that I haven't even weighed them :shock:

It's been a busy week for the postie in LS7...

A SPOT tracker from ebay
A Rab Neutrino Endurance 200 sleeping bag from Mountain Leisure in Perth (good price, good service)
And a lot of the parts for this...

A Kinesis FF29 with IX forks. Built up on Friday night, ridden yesterday. Great, great bike. Fun, engaging and way more composed than a 19lb rigid bike should be. Will be my do everything bike for this year... racing, adventures and playing. Dropper post will be swapped for a Thomson for bike packing, and I fancy some (even) wider bars. 710mm USE ones now feel really narrow after a winter or using 750mm+ bars on other bikes.

Very, very nice, a ss bike even at only 19lb would still see my knees exploding, it's hard getting old ;) .
