Talbot Fixed Tourer

Yes. too steep bit would mean a 1+ mile alpine mountain. for normal shorter hills its a nice case of htfu/walking

But how do you get something 80+ for the alpine descents?

Disconnect the chain and wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Why disconnect chain when you can just take your feet off the pedals?

So when's the Talbot ride? I suggest start at Blue Door and work our way to Cadence for a coffee.

Much better cornering if you can put your weight into the outside pedal.

Do. Not. Recommend.

Even with two brakes.

You all sound like you don't enjoy descending with your feet spinning at over 200 rpm. weirdos

Sounds like hard work, so I'm out.

Nice @laner where you off to?

Spinning 48/19 at just shy of 40mph was exciting enough. Add in the extra weight and resulting speed from packed bags and I think my knees and hips would have been torn apart.

Just a quick one from dunkirk to hook of holland.

bike setup ready to get the ferry tomorrow

Nice! Have a good trip.

wow, no messing around, straight into action :-)

Have fun, looking forward to future posts, have a good trip.

So enough of your mum's bike, what are you gonna ride?

PS you might wanna take that union jack off there and remember to tell people you're irish.

Damn: you don't hang around.

can you not level the front pannier rails?

@Skülly i'm magically turn welsh whenever i'm abroad...

@Scilly.Suffolk have to! as soon as I return it goes back to Matt so he can take it to Bespoked Bristol

Sounds fun!

could do, but it's only temporary for this trip. it'll have a nitto m18 front rack after that

It's for climbing, don't you know anything?

With all that shit on it I can hardly see the rad fadez

Are you carrying gifts for friends or something?
