With guilt like that you could be catholic.
You're right though, it's very light. The trick is to do what you should always do with an alcohol stove and set up out of the wind.
A Titus Rockstar frame from on one , haven't seen it yet as its been scurried away for Christmas, but needless to say it should be quite a cool spares bike
Thank you SlowUpSlowDown for the pair of Bar Mitts off the 'for sale' section. Keep my hands warm on the commutes, that's both flat and drop bars sorted now.
Just finished work for my Xmas leave and the correct book has finally arrived Eat, Sleep, Ride...... By Paul Howard, not a book about Spanish politics in Spanish!
So with gales and rain lashing down I reckon it'll be book on the sofa and the odd turbo to start the hols, oh and Star Wars tomorrow
16mp, 4k 24fps to vga 240fps, WiFi, monitor screen, waterproof to 30m, gyro stablized. Amazing for the money. Apart for the stupid name (gitup git2) it looks spot on.
Just picked up a folding bike - I need it to ensure I can continue to ride a bike while I'm working in London for a few months. It's the first bike I've ever bought where I've thought "is this it?" when I saw it.
It's still light and fast (and a necessary evil), but it doesn't excite like any other new bike does...

I even saw a bloke on a fat bike round the corner from work in Holborn
Obviously commuting via train means a folding bike is handy, but can leave a bike at either end too...
I can't store a proper bike over the weekend as I'm in a hotel Monday to Wednesday nights only. I can probably get away with leaving this bike under a desk or if not I'll take it on the plane every time.
