12 degree Ti handlebars for the Pact, to replace the Loops. I'm hoping this is the sweep angle I've been looking for. I'll weigh them, fit them, then pass on my experience with them.

Gorgeous...

Yesterday PM came and dropped an 01 Hario v60 cone filter thingy. Just like Shauns and I've finally realised they come in other sizes than the 02 (and realised what the 02 actually represents)

This new jersey came today from the US. I won a comp in a FB group for a photo and received a $100 voucher for a cycle jersey shop.
Its got a bike, panniers, front bar bag, tent, a big moon and a pitch with a view. There's nothing else on the jersey....

And since we're being picky I've never managed to prop my bike up just by leaning the front wheel against a tree. Clever if you've got the knack of it I expect.

edit: oh and I wouldn't be using a bungee to lash gear onto the rack. Have someone's eye out.

edit edit: so: blazing inferno, bungees, badly parked bike. The whole damn jersey just hasn't been properly risk assessed has it really?

This week the posman has delivered:

Smart Sam 700x42c (That it has been confirmed DOES fit in the Escapade frame; so another has been ordered :cool: )

Hope 11 speed Shimano freehub body to replace the Campag one that came off to enable the convertion to a SRAM 1x setup.

11 Speed chain (see above)

Hose ends & compression glands so I can shorten the new brake hoses.

Alpkit Soloist - just because!
