Wildcat Lioness pouch. I read stu's review on the blog yesterday morning, ordered it yesterday afternoon, and it turned up on my desk this afternoon. I love the internet and royal mail sometimes :-)

The co2 will extinguish the propane. And perhaps take your eye out. ;)

If that works out well I could well imagine her getting a fair bit of interest. Looks good.

I know what you mean and I wouldn't pack it with those normally, but it was the first things I grabbed from the garage which I guessed would fit in there and that everyone had so knew their sizes/volume.

On-One OG bars just arrived and now fitted. A couple of inconclusive laps of the yard mean that I can't decide whether I like them or not ... however, I can confirm that they are Carnegies by another name :wink:

Oh and some more socks too, these ones have Skulls on - nice (said in the style of the jazz club host on the Fast Show)

One of these came today. Couldnt help myself. Having watched the ManChild scuttling round a few BMX tracks and street parks since he got his birthday BMX it all got too much and I had to have one (N+1) We picked it up this morning and spent a few hours at a track not far from us. BMX is not what it was in the 1970s. It is a lot harder and I kept falling off and now have a nifty hole in my left knee where some skin used to be.

1x honey stove
1x mini sawyer
1x uco mini candle lattern

Stove tested with can stove and trangia , kelly kettle sits inside perfectly will probably retire the base.

Sawyer mini untested

Uco lantern... Okay not really a bike packing item but its quite pleasant for ambient light so maybe when a bit of luxury is required its find its way into a pocket.

Those OGs look good to me. Are they actually 685mm wide as it says on the On-One site?

I've just thrown a tape across them ... with thick grips on they measure 700mm tip to tip, so 685mm would be about right.

Wildcat Lioness bar bag. Lovely looking bit of kit. Fancy glossy pre-printed instructions now too :cool:

Oh, and a couple of bits from the Howies sale, most of which will be sent back. Is it just me or is their sizing / its consistency a bit off :???:

Very nice, Ton. A mate has one of those and they are cracking. Amazing value, too.
