My Stooge Scrambler
IMG_0381.jpg
What's it like? Are they making any more?
It's fantastic. Like a big BMX I guess, but it settles into bikepacking duties really well too. Stooge have previously only done one production run of each frame. All the Scrambler frames have now sold, but I reckon there will be a few come up for sale when the next frame becomes available end of Feb, begining of March,the Dirt Bomb; which is a modern klunker. I know Andy has a new 'bike' in development, but I have a feeling it may be something a bit different- perhaps a steel gravel bike? No real evidence to support that- just a feeling.
I'm sure there will be a Mk 5 version of the classic Stooge frameset at some point soon too as tere seems to be a new frame about every six months or so.
He said on Instagram that he’s planning on the dirt bomb, then the mk5 and then a second run of the scrambler in a break from tradition but I don’t think there’s a published schedule attached to that plan

Custom Sonder titanium advnmnstrgrvlwnkr drop bar bike, love the versatility.
Polaris Fixie straps - so simple, they don't come apart in use and torque down really tight, and I've used them for everything andincluding holding the swingarm to the car as I limped it to the scrappy.
Impact driver - not bike related but I can't believe I've never used one before.

Shimano MW5 boots, right at the tail end of the year for me. Sure they aren't fully waterproof, but it's a huge improvement on foot warmth, even in the recent snow.

In reality, the piece of kit that I would buy exactly the same again without even looking.
Nordisk Telemark 1 tent. Superb.
One of the best tents I’ve ever owned
It's worked really well for me, in rough or nice weather. I didn't use it hot weather where it may be a little warm but I can deal with that given the ease of use and protection it offers for the weight and pack size.
