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.

Some more Scandinavian maps.
New chain and cassette.

...and this lot. Wish me luck?

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

Any chance you could weigh that bombolini, then measure its with when fitted?

I shall try.

Thanks

I've used Fat b Nimble, chronicle 120tpi and knards if you want comparisons.

all on Dually's and except the chronicles, on blunts.

Ok. This is going on a blunt 35 so should be comparable?

I like numbers

Mostly interested in the weight and how it goes up tubeless. They look like a decent all round tyres.

Well you wouldn't want a square set...

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.

Praxis Works Cassette. Interested to see how this goes, other praxis stuff has been good to me.
New Mech,
New Bars,

He hasn't brought my new frame yet though.

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

NEW Action cam for my birthday.

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.

Ordered yesterday, arrived today

You got me all excited until I found out it was software

I think it uses an accelerometer in conjunction with dynamic cropping of an oversized frame.

For the money it certainly seems to pack a lot in.

Not had a chance to play yet so time will tell

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...

What sort is it?

You know you can ride a proper bike here?

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.

Dave - it's a Tern Verge X10.

Yesterday he brought spokes and hubs to build a set of wheels with some rims I've had on the shelf for nearly year.

I'll pull my finger out and build those and I'll be ready for the frame to arrive.

Alpkit tapered dry bag.
Screen protectors for my GPS (I managed to improve the screen by polishing with toothpaste.)

I'll pull my finger out and build those and I'll be ready for the frame to arrive.

What's coming Dave or is it a secret?

I got a brace of new tyres today, proper MTB tyres 26" and yesterday I got a used MTB frame, again a proper MTB frame a 26'er
