A keg of HPA

A 24" islabikes carbon hubbed front wheel to go on the tiny Kona hula I'm doing up for my daughter.

Some 152mm cranks and bright orange BMX pedals, also for the above Kona.

... and dropped off a litter picker and bin bag hoop. Time to tidy up the poor show in some of the local hedgerows.

A bell end for my Spur bell sent FOC from Shona and Rich from Keep peddling

Pics taking far too long to load so I'll get on with it and describe the pics as i go along!

Acepac tool pouch, packed up and attached under saddle of Egen

Don't it look lovely. Ordered on Friday, arrived Saturday. From a grumpy man in a barn in the mountains somewhere

.. with a Gatewood cape! And a set of 8SVT main bearing shells.

A Serenity bug tent ready for some Scottish trekking

And delivered a lovely shiny broken road in 29er flavour

Well show it to us then man!

Yes it is gorgeous, so where did you buy that wallpaper from?

... and delivered an Exped Pillow Pump. Just hope I have the space to take it with me later this week.

Interested hear how you get along with it. Use mine on every trip now. Packs small with an elastic band round it. I find it's easier to use than a schnozz, and it's comfier than a basic inflatable.

not guilty. Previous resident. We'll eventually change it but missus like it (well I encourage her to as it'd mean me having less bike time otherwise)...

It was a few days ago but got a Gatewood Cape sized pole from Stu last week in double-quick time, a little extender to allow me to discover, all for myself, that he was entirely correct and the original pole height is all I will ever need

Excellent, generous and rapid service. Lovely bloke

Also a couple of metres each of tyvek and t'other one (permavent?) - remind me again is there something about which side to use, when etc? I've just been using some old section of plastic sheet until now. I recall it's work washing the Tyvek (or both) to reduce inherent slippiness.

... and delivered an Alpkit barrel bag. I feel like a proper Gravel Taylor now. Time to go for a short spin to test it out, I will not be dangling a mug, or wearing a checked shirt, but I am sporting a beard.

First test will be Thursday night, I will report back...

The grey side with Dupont written on it goes face down. At least that's the side that faces out when you slap it on a house...

Gravel Taylor??

Another secret swear filter result?

Taking poor Taylor's name in vain - what has the poor chap done to deserve that moniker?

Bob... is that barrel bag on your gravel bike waterproof... Like properly waterproof...

Either side up. If you wash Tyvek it'll soften it and make it feel less 'wax papery'.

Muchos gracias señor.

No. From the Alpkit website:

Due to its stitched construction, the Toploader isn’t 100% watertight so we would still recommend storing electronics in a waterproof dry bag. But thanks to the VX21 fabric and the YKK Aquaguard zip it’s still exceptionally weather-proof.
