Trucker has been rolling for a week now, needs a couple of tweaks (cable routing, saddle angle, valve stem, fender stays or bigger tyres...). Leaving most of these while we're tweaking the fit/reach. As soon as payday rolls round she wants a rear rack and is going to make a Carradice-style saddlebag like so
The Karate Monkey went out on it's second ride and my first ever night mountain biking. 95km of gate-after-gate around the Mary Towneley loop. Had a great time and really enjoyed how quite everything was (except the swearing coming from the tandem as we approached the 50somethingth gate at about 4am... I also picked up an old Middleburn hub and a Blunt 35 rim, hopefully I'll find time to lace this up and there'll be a 3" Knard on the front in the next few weeks...
Colour doesn't really go with the blue but I don't care!
Cross Check is still waiting on cranks and a new drivechain. Been taking it easy until that's all fixed up. Added a Paul Gino to the rack, need a shorter bolt but it's come in handy when lugging back massive packs of bog roll and other tall or bulky loads.
